The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment working with children was when I started teaching swim lessons. I was teaching a beginner level swim class for children who were 4 to 6 years old. I had a girl in my swim class who had never been in the water before and I recognized how timid and even uncomfortable she was. Once she was more comfortable being in the water after the first lesson; she told me she wanted to put her face in the water like her classmates. She came to the next lesson with a pair of goggles; in which I made sure were fitted correctly and slowly but surely she put her face in the water. She learned how to blow bubbles and anytime she went underwater; with her classmates and myself she created a system of talking while blowing bubbles. She became more comfortable and it brought excitement to her classmates once she told them what she was doing. Many years later when I help new swimmers go underwater for the first time; I use the talking in bubbles method this swim student created.
