Nanny Craft: Button Decorations

Hello! I'm here with 2nannies first Nanny Craft! Many more to follow so don't worry! The kids all had a ton of fun with this one and as you can see from the final product they turned out beautifully and sticks really nicely to the window.

Here's What You Need:
Buttons
Contact Paper
Coloring Book pages (Optional)

Here's What You Do:
Cut a chunk of contact paper. Separate it so you have two separate sticky pieces on one sticky piece arrange buttons how you would like them to look. If you would like to create a particular picture, slide a coloring page under one of your "stickys" and use the page as a template to design a picture. My kids chose to freestyle and do their own thing!When you are finished creating your button design, apply the other sticky paper on top of the button sticky! Press firmly to remove air bubbles! I used tape to stick creations to the sliding glass window. You can also hole punch it and hang somewhere with string or ribbon!

Sammy's lovely art!

More button work!

I'm Phylicia. "Obviously" as Kiko would say! I love reading, talking, writing, playing, cooking, baking, doing arts and crafts, watching movies, spending time with friends, and kids! How did I come to be a nanny you ask? I'll tell you! I'm 24 years old and have lived here, in Ohio, my whole life! I graduated from Ashland University in 2010 with my degree in Social Work. Here's the thing about Social Work... You can work with a lot of different types of populations. Elderly, homeless, children, people in different countries, patients, people in rural, areas, students, families, anyone! You can really do anything. The only thing I really wanted to do was work with children, specifically adoption. But when i graduated there weren't a ton of jobs working with kids... in adoption...placing them with families. So, I saw an ad online for this family looking for a nanny for 3 kids all under 4 (4,2,9 months at the time). I thought, ''hmm.. maybe I'll do that for a few months until i find a Social Work job''. Well, hello two years later! Still here with the kids and I love it. :) I'm attached to these crazy babies and I don't think I could leave if I wanted to. I think I've acquired to some cool knowledge while working here.I have also had a lot of fun opportunities. Can't wait to share them with you all!

Kiko

Hey guys! It's me, Kiko. Obviously. I am just a silly little kid trapped inside a 22-year-old girl's body. I love to have fun and live life. I believe in making the most of any circumstance. Some of the ways I accomplish my mission of happiness is by drawing, photographing, filming, blogging, vlogging, YouTubing, singing, playing my guitar, reading, watching movies/TV, cooking/baking, sleeping, exercising, eating, hanging out with friends and family, going to church, playing with the children I live with, and a whole lot more. I'm from Hawai'i. Born and bred. The day after I graduated high school, I started working for a preschool, just for a summer job. But I loved it so much that my summer job turned into two years. (Where I'd probably still be had I not moved to my current residence.) I babysat for many of the families at this preschool. But the next thing I know, I moving across the country with one of them to be their Au Pair (live-in nanny basically.) I love these three beautiful children so much. Obviously. I left HAWAII to move to OHIO. But all joking aside, I truly am loving it here. It's superduper fun. The kids make me smile each day and this whole experience is helping me to become a better person. So now I choose to share with you my life & love. Thank you for reading. Let's go!
