Angela....our babysitter!

So when I was trying to figure out what to blog about today I realized I was limited to what I could do because my batteries ran out in my camera so I couldn't take any new pictures today and then I remembered I haven't blogged about our babysitter Angela yet! So without further ado here is a blog about our wonderful sitter.....

This is Angela and one of her daughters Sara.

When we first arrived here and we had a few weeks to find a sitter for all four kids it was kinda overwhelming. I have never had a regular sitter before, we had someone we used sometimes at home, but not someone I counted on to take care of and love my kids. So I was a bit unsure of what to expect.

We after several leads on babysitters didn't work out, we were given her name, so she came over to meet us and the kids. What I should tell you about her is that she doesn't speak English, well she does some, kinda like I do Romanian! So we had to have a translator to interview her,a and we weren't even sure what to ask her. In the end we thought, what the heck...lets try it out! I should also tell you she is a nurse and with the luck of my children I thought wow what a bonus!

She has turned out to be the biggest blessing we have had here. She loves our children and when it was still warm outside she would take all four of my kids plus her two kids on a bus by herself and go to the park. I won't even do that!

She helps me with language and

she is teaching the kids Romanian. She will speak to Benjamin in Romanian and he will do what she says! I don't know what she is saying, but he does! She is so helpful with everything. She
knew I wanted to learn how to make some

Romanian food, so she came over with our language teacher to help teach me cook and watch the kids.

Our family is so blessed to have her. She has invited us to her church this Sunday and she knows I have a hard time with the little boys during church, so she has asked her oldest daughter to help watch our children so I could sit with her at church.

There are some different babysitting techniques that she has tried out on our children, like when she tied Timothy to the chair to get him to sit still ( I totally understand that!)....

and she did come back the day after Timothy threw his potty at her with potty inside it! And that happened more then once! She has a good heart....and lots of patients! I think if someone threw a potty at me I probably wouldn't come back....even if it was my child....sorry Ray, but I would be out!
