Happy 22nd Birthday Kiko!!

I just had a birthday! I turned 22 years old. July 29th was my birthday. And where was I? At the "Happiest Place on Earth" Disneyland!! We didn't go there purposely for my birthday. We went so they could meet up with their family and such and it just so happened to overlap my birthday. Lucky me :) Phlyicia couldn't come with us, boo. But we had so much fun! Take a look...

Batman Birthday Cakes

Long time no post. Sorry! We've been busy :)
Kona just turned 3 years old. What a big boy! And I got to make 3 birthday cakes for him. Yup... 3 cakes! Since he had a Batman Birthday, I made Batman cakes. You likee?? The gray one was a chocolate/yellow marble cake. The blue one was a blue and yellow layered cake. And the cupcake cakes were blue colored white cake and yellow cake cupcakes. I baked and decorated all of these. So fun! I was so excited when his mom told me she wanted me to make the cakes for his birthday party. These turned out so cool (I think) and they were a hit at the parties! Hooray and phew :)

Have a great day!

Phylicia

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!
