My Life in September


My life in September becomes very hectic. As the Summer comes to a close, school begins along with my three jobs. My first job is to be a nanny for four adorable children. I am with the children five days a week and feed them a nutritious breakfast, get them dressed for school, get them on the bus, then babysit their youngest brother all day long. After being a nanny, I am a high school cheerleading coach. I instruct my team on how to be cautious during practice and how to be the best they can be! I am also a waitress at a Japanese restaurant in Great Neck, New York. We serve delicious meals to our guests every night. The beautiful month September is busy for me, but it also brings the joyful idea of Autumn approaching. Autumn is one of my favorite months because of the cool weather, the colorful trees, and the flavor of pumpkin!
