Putting into practice

Last week I put on practice many of the knowledge I have already adquire along this subject.  I felt very comfortable and self-confidence.  

I am going to explain you…

Six months ago, a friend of mine introduced me to an American Family.  They are here because of the husband job. They need a babysitter for some hours, but they wanted someone with experience, and that will be able to speak with the girls in English. I offered myself a little bit afraid. I didn´t know if I will understand them, or if I will have any other problem, nevertheless I did.

It was so easy. The girls were the best ones I have ever look after. I have been looking after them all the summer and when the course started I stopped because I need to study. However last week the mum called me. She needed me because her sister was going to come and they wanted to go out on Saturday night. According to her, the cousins were “Wild boys”.

I had to prepare games and activities for 2 girls and 2 “wild boys” and I had to also look after the baby. I was going to get crazy! When I was preparing the activities I thought, “ why don´t we do some of the things of the Raquel´s classes?” so we did.

We started playing “frozen Frame”. We did 2 groups and they had to do a scene depicted in one popular fairy tale. We were playing for a long time. Many of the scenes I didn´t know, so they made me a summary of the story. It was quite funny and they enjoy a lot.

When I saw that they need to change the activity, actually they had to go bed, we song the "bear hunt" song. They didn´t know the story so it was an absolutely surprise for them. We did it along the house. After singing it they do all the things before bed.

PJ´s, potty, teeth, BOOK, STORY, bed.

 What a wonderful moment. I read the book “curious George”.

It is about a monkey. I tried to read as best as possible. I put emphasis and I think it was great they also thought it. Then they asked me for a "princesses story". I create a new one and they loved. They were so happy.

I felt very proud of have been able to do all what I already did.
