Nanny's diary

 Since January I have been volunteering again to babysit 2 kids, part of a Bulgarian family which lives 3 minutes away from my place, therefore I have time to go there every Tuesday and Thursday and every time I have to be creative in chosing which games we will play. The kids are 1) 10 year old and 2) 4 year old. So it is a bit hard to think of games which could entertain both of them but their favourite one is hide and seek of course. It was also my favourite when I was their age. It is a game with no age limits so it is suitable for everyone. But i changed it a bit. We play it like this- I hide and count to 100 and during this time they should change something in the house ( the position of a chair, table) / put something somewhere where I should find it, but they don't tell me what is changes. While searching where are they I have to find out what did they change. And if I am right and I guessed then they draw me pictures and give them to me, if not I give them chocolate. We are having a lot of fun, I am with them only for 2 hours, while their mother is at the gym, therefore we have enough time to get to know each other. Sometimes they are very tired so I am cooking something for them and we watch a movie, but I am glad I can help their mother so that she would have at least a few hours on her own. During this activity I am working collaboratively with other, I am undertaking a new challenge every time and I am developing new skills.
