Between the ages of sixteen and eighteen I went to college to learn about child care. I got to do work experience with child minders and with play groups. I wanted to become a children's nanny. I looked in a magazine and came across adverts for nannies in many different countries. I fancied getting a nanny position in the USA or Canada. I wanted to learn to drive so it would be easier for me to get a nannying job over there.

I applied for a nannying job for a family that lived in California in America. They had a two month old baby girl, a two year old boy and a seven year old girl. They said that it would be lovely if I could drive their automatic car. So I had a two week course of automatic driving lessons. The automatic driving lessons course cost four hundred pounds. I got on so well with my automatic driving lessons that my instructor thought I had a good chance of passing my practical driving test. He let me have a driving practice test with another driving instructor. A scooter came out of a supermarket car park really quickly and I had to do an emergency stop. The driving instructor was impressed with my driving. I didn't need to take any more automatic driving lessons and I passed my practical driving test.

I flew out to Los Angeles Airport and the whole family met me at the airport. The mum and dad seemed like really lovely people. The baby girl was asleep and the boy seemed really active. The girl was fairly quiet. The baby was called Emma, the boy was named Toby and the girl was called Charlotte. They lived in a huge house with a large swimming pool. I had to take a driving test there and then I was able to drive their family car.

I took the kids to Disneyland and it was great fun. I took Emma's pram around and watched to make sure Toby and Charlotte enjoyed the rides. Some of the rides I was able to come on to with Emma. When I got back the mum was chatting to a young man. She said that his name was Nick and that he was the same age as me. He took me for a drive to Venice Beach that weekend. We walked along the yellow sandy beach. He held my hand when we sat down on a bench he kissed my lips. So I had a dream job and the most amazing boyfriend.
