I MOVED TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!
I accepted a job as a nanny for a family here. I started this process at the beginning of July where I was told it could take a while for me to be placed with a family. Well I got a call for an interview just a couple weeks later. Long story short I accepted the job with the family! As we spoke the more excited I got for the opportunity and it sounded like a great fit for me. I was nervous about leaving my comfortable and good life in Pocatello. All my family and friends are there, but I was sitting in church one day when I got the feeling that I need to explore the world a little more. I felt like my place wasn't in Pocatello and I needed to explore being a nanny. The nanny thing is fantastic because I get to work with children, which I LOVE, and I get to work with the whole family as well. I am so excited for this opportunity and can't wait to see what it brings.
I have been here for three days now and I am loving it! When I first got off the plane I was pretty overwhelmed. I am just a small town girl and I was suddenly in a gigantic city! I quickly fell in love with it. My first night here I meet up with another nanny named Kenadie. She had actually reached out to me before I even got to San Francisco. I am so glad she did too. She is so fun to be around and she has been a big help to me figuring out this place. That first night we went and walked to the beach which isn't far from my new house. Then Friday night we went to Fishermens Wharf and Union Square. I loved it! Fishermens Wharf is totally a tourist place but I could spend a lot of time there! You can see all these silly little seals and you have a great view of Alcatraz and the ocean. I want to do more exploring there and look into the shops. There seemed to be a lot of cute shops that I can do some Christmas shopping! At Union Square we saw street performers and they were a lot of fun! We also walked and walked and walked a lot. I think I will be doing a lot of that in San Francisco. The hills here are also so intense and steep! You definitely get a work out wherever you go in this city. I am so so excited to explore this place more. I have plenty of time since I will be here for at least a year!
I do miss my old job at TLC and everyone there. I also miss my family and friends back in Idaho. I just know that this is the place I need to be right now. I get to meet the children in the morning and I am so excited! I have already fallen in love with this city and feel at home here. This is going to be such a fun adventure!
