(An ad for a live-in nanny in London circulated recently and it touted a 100,000 GBP/PA salary with the use of the family’s Porshe, Maserati, Range Rover among other high-end cars. Apparently the nanny in our story is oblivious to this ad and would rather keep to his non-paying nanny job without the perks being offered above. Please avoid showing or sharing this story online, because there's a chance that it may reach the concerned family in London and he might be pirated for their convenience.)
Sofia a.k.a. Iya - a toddler by now, is blessed with a crop of hair that is fast filling her crown, strong legs to run around and a special person - her maternal granddad, to look after her - for a whole day, while her dad, mom, and grandma are at work.
The day starts with mama Aya taking Iya to grampa's house before she drives off to work.
first things first - say hello to the neighbor's cat
who is a regular breakfast guest at the back porch.
morning devotional is next and she has
a lot of materials to choose from. the aloe vera
drink got misplaced somehow
reading and storytelling follows and she's
anticipating her next activity and favorite subject,
which is...
recess - playtime! apparently grampa had to
drive to the playground a few blocks away.
she's famished after running around and she
doesn't have time to use the spoon. grampa's
cooking looks delicious
from the kitchen they head to the bedroom for
the siesta period. she needs her iPad,
stuffed giraffe and a bottle of juice/milk to help
her get into the mood
in no time she is in dreamland and it is too
obvious that this activity of the day is what her
grampa loves best. he's right beside her.
today she's the "cleaner" so she tidies up to make
sure that she gets good marks in work education.
Before class is dismissed they sing the school song
and national anthem and as usual she leads
the singing on the piano. she's browsing through
the "beatles' best" song book.
I just wish that I had a photo of her awesome nanny before Iya's mama came to take her home. It would have been an indicator of how they both fared through all the activities.
