Hi my name is Tanja and I am new to blogging so I guess I will start my new post by describing what my blogs are about. Well as you can see by my name I am a nanny, well actually I am a daytime nanny and work from my own home. I take care of three beautiful children, two boys who are brothers. Levee will be 1 year old this coming Wednesday and his big brother Leems is 3 years old. I also have a little girl from a different family her name is Kay and is 19 months old. As you can see I use nick names for them and not their real names because this may be my blog but its on the internet and you must always be safe and cautious. Generally our days start with the play center then we come home for lunch take their naps and do activities until their parents pick them up. We also go on special adventures which the kids just love. Being a nanny is a gift, for you to do it everyday and enjoy yourself it must be a gift to you or you will go insane :) Children have always been very precious to me especially sick children who cannot live a normal childhood because they could die or not strong enough which leads me to tell you about my ministry. Loyal Lamb Outreach was started by myself in 2003 to reach out to families around the world suffering with grief, fear, exhaustion from watching their kids suffer. It also spreads awareness of the many childhood diseases out there that we must be aware of so we can fight it and find a cure so our children can live. I have been asked so many times "How Do You Cope" well it is certainly not easy to see these many children suffer however if I can bring one smile to one child or one moment of peace to a suffering parent then its worth that sadness that overcomes me. Time and time again I have a good cry and continue the ministry God has put upon my heart.
My blogs will consist of my days with the kids, my personal struggles and paths the Lord leads me on. Lets start with a little about who I am. I am a 31 year old Christian female, I was living on my own but became so lonely so I moved back home after my ex fiance and I broke up in 2004. I live with my mom and sister. My very best friend is my husky x Moses he brings me such joy, he is a major suck and I adore him so much. I took a break from music ministry as I had a negative experience at a church but I know with God's guidance He will lead me back to it. My dream is to sing in the theater with a large symphony behind me and just bringing the powerful sound together, I want to be the female version of Josh Groban is the best example. Its a gift to have that opportunity. I love photography it so amazing to me that many years down the road you can physically see that memory on paper, its a special gift.
I am a survivor of a child abuse from my father who I have not spoken to since age 16. I have let go of the torture and beatings he put me through because hanging on to that allows him to win and I cannot give him that. I have lost many loved ones even younger then myself but I continue to focus on God's walk. I also deal with a anxiety disorder called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and it amazes me how strong my faith is in God to overcome it and live a normal life, the stories I hear break my heart but they can overcome.
I think this should be a start to get to know me, feel free to share with me I love making new friends all around the world. Until then God Bless, Nanny Tanja
