Risk #3

Day 3: Purchase my first NCS online class

So as most people know, I'm a nanny.  And not a part time, what am I going to do next type nanny, but an in the trenches helping to raise 3 kids, full time nanny.  I love it.  I am genuinely happy to go to work 99% of the time, and to be honest, I'd be perfectly happy being a career nanny for many years to come.  But I have bigger plans.  I can't spill all the beans here, but just know, I've got some things up my sleeve.  One of those things happens to be becoming an NCS or Newborn Care Specialist.  It's a fancy way to say night nurse or baby nurse lol.  You provide childcare during the first 12 weeks of a baby's life, mainly at night, giving relief to exhausted new parents.  It's the best of both world, getting to help new parents and getting paid to cuddle a teeny little baby!

Buying the class made me nervous because it was like putting a stamp of reality on my carefully constructed new life plan.  I had this terrible feeling, like, what if I start learning about this more in depth and I don't even like it?  Or what if I can't understand the material?  Or, or, or...?  I just bit the bullet, paid the money, and that was that.  I won't be able to start the course for a few days because my internet is totally jacked because of some recent storms, but despite my initial nervousness, I'm super excited!
