Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- When you're traveling full time with 9 kids and one of them has special needs, having a nanny isn't a terrible idea. We were back and forth about having one travel with us but when we met Sarah it all fit into place. She came for a night to try it out and now she's flying in to join us for the next year or so. Are we ready to add another person to our madness? We hope so!
Want to see the day Sarah came to try out being our nanny?

"We don't cook for the kids. We just cook good food and we expect them to eat it or have toast." I love that!
How we. have it in our family too. :)
TheGoreeTruth and what if they just always have a toast...
Lee The Dragon I'd imagine they would get tired of constantly eating toast and just try eating what the rest of the family is eating eventually
Lee The Dragon I haven't really noticed any of them eating toast. But I have seen them eat lots of other stuff including healthy snacks. So I'm sure that they are fine. 😉
TheGoreeTruth i mean in general. 'cause I know one family. teenage boy doesn't eat almost anything that his mom cooks. so I thought that if she said "just eat the toast", he would just do that.
I adore Daniel, he's always so positive and inquisitive. He fits perfectly into your family but is also strongly his own person. Let us know when your restaurant is open!
I have loved watching how much your adopted children have found their places in your family! They have all really bloomed socially too! I remember when Daniel avoided being on camera and now he is so comfortable with it.
+Deb Olsen - yes, he is getting much more comfortable, isn't he?
Deb Olsen yes! I was just thinking the same thing in this vlog and the last few. Glad to see he's setting in!
And his English has improved a lot. I can imagine him with no accent at all by the time he reaches adulthood
"What's for dinner?" "I'm kinda' makin' it up right now." --Spoken like a true mom.
lol....Those were called MamaDo's at our house.
Very impressies walking all those stairs with Jude on your back!
I think Daniel is missing his big bro! When my sister went off to college I remember sitting on the dryer and talking my mom's ear off. lol Safe travels!!
Shout out to Daniel...wow is he thriving...been watching for awhile and noticed lately how outgoing and outspoken he is becoming..he is just beaming...what a joy to see what love can do. Thank you for sharing your story. Kim
I always enjoy seeing Daniel as he continues to open up in front of the camera. Looking forward to cooking segments by chef Dan!
Nice to see Daniel vlogging! Don't think we've seen that before!
This post-beard New York era has somehow got me falling for you all, all over again, Peter and Ascher's wee bright faces are so sweet, remind me of happy days exploring with my godsons, bon voyage 🙏
Daniel would LOVE the show masterchef junior!!!!!
It's amazing seeing daniel become more confident with every vlog !
Welcome to the family Sarah!
Welcome Sarah! We all know things didn't always go smoothly for Annie Sullivan, but the world was forever changed because she was willing to give her heart.
The 9 kids were so lucky having a great parents just like Mike and Meagan. I really enjoyed watching their channels as soon as I reach home, I immediately click their channels so i can see what's new in it.
I love hearing Daniel! I feel like he's coming out of his shell and it's awesome!
I love your family and admire you guys for adopting these precious children
this is amazing! i am a military wife and an aba therapist. sarah is doing my dream job! traveling and helping families with their kiddos who need help.
It was so nice to see the kids so excited to see Sarah. I also loved Sara's smile on the subway. She looks like she's ready for adventure. What a great opportunity for all of you.
Daniel so great! Love him.
You guys are giving your children a magnificent view of the real world. It is such a treat to watch your excursions.
The trashed element of being a mom is very real. We just moved country to country and the new schedule and level of energy it takes to do anything has me feeling trashed. I thought it was just me. Between 1 and 3 everyday I'm looking at a nap. Thanks for being candid!
I love the fact that it gets more and more easy to understand eve as she gets more vocal!
So exciting that Sarah has joined your family. I'm sure that she will be a HUGE help. Love hearing Daniel talk about cooking. You can tell that he has a passion for that.
I remember when I first started watching Daniel seemed so shy but now he's on camera talking a lot and I love it. He reminds me so much of my 14 year old son. All of your kids are great and me and mine enjoy watching you guys!
I love your entry with the little Guy saying OK. He is precious
I’m commenting 4 yrs after this video came out. This is such a surprise to me! I’ve seen all your current videos and a lot from the past but never knew you’d lived in nyc for a short time! Interesting ❤️
It's gonna be fun cause Jude is learning not only English but the accent that you had, he is going to sound so fun
Yay, the new member of the family has arrived. Welcome Sarah!
can I just say that I love peter's hair. like, it doesn't matter how it's cut or done that day or if it's even done that day (or ever). it's just so darn cute
I'm so excited to see how things go with Sarah . And I'm suppppeeerrr excited for u guys to go to France ! :)
What an amazing opportunity for Sarah 💖I came to this country as an Au Pair 26 years ago 😊 and now, after raising my own girls, came back full
circle working as a Nanny to a young family. I look forward to seeing how Sarah will grow with your family and to "coming along" (albeit only via UA-cam) to your amazing European adventure. Can't wait. Safe travels!
Welcome Sarah. You are going to love being a part of this wonderful family.
It was so nice meeting Sarah on the train a few weeks ago! I thought it was pretty crazy to hear she was shortly to appear on a channel I watch! Seriously it sounds like the best job ever! Have fun on your travels!!!!
Congratulations on hiring your first nanny! It’s sweet that you made the blog special about her. What a welcome! You will love having an extra set of eyes and hands 💙
I think your family is so great and cool. Sara will fit right in.
I love seeing all the sights again of New York City through your eyes. My 20 year old daughter and I were there exactly a year before you posted your video. We had an absolutely amazing trip and can’t wait to go back!
I just wanted to let you know, I'm so happy that you are doing everything you can to help your kids grow! I didn't have any help with school, or in life growing up. I was told over and over I would never been anything. So I never got the help I needed! I am now 26 years old with 2 girls under 2 and I'm a stay at home mom/wife. I do wish I could have done more with my life, but that's not the way it tuned out. You doing everything you can for you kids and making sure they make it to where they want to be, will help them the most in the long run!! Thank you so much for your videos!! =)
Excited for your family's adventure! I know it will all meld in no time you 11 + Sarah. Keep the faith!
I love watching your family! You guys are the sweetest people... good for you for living the life that you want... traveling with your children like you do cannot possibly be easy at times, but you are giving them an education like no other! They will become citizens of the world and that's awesome! God bless you all and safe travels!
I think Sarah will fit right in and work well with your family.
Jude humming when you were climbing the stairs was so cute!!
So surreal watching you getting Sarah reminded me of in 1982 when I flew from uk to Spokane to be Nanny to my cousins baby. The same baby who now lives in New York
Megan! First our family of 9 LOVES watching your channel! When you mentioned not having a good way to store and travel with your jewelry I got so excited! I am a Jeweler with Premier Designs Jewelry, a company based on biblical principles, and we have a travel jewelry storage bag I would love to send you! Also you have mentioned that you like a lot of different looks with your jewelry but obviously do not have a lot of space since you travel. We specialize in versatility! Our necklaces can be worn in several different ways. I think you would find it so cool! I would love to send you a necklace. My gift to you because your family has given so much to our family through your transparency and honesty. We are actually considering selling all we have also and traveling full time with our family. You and Mike have inspired us!
Teresa C. Awesome! I hope, Megan sees this!!
Teresa C. maybe see if they have a business email. everyone else like this up so Megan sees this
Yes thank you! Good idea will do!
Hi Teresa, Megan and Mike have an email address and website which is where I think they do most of their correspondence. Maybe you should contact them that way to aid Megan. 😊
Teresa C. How incredible!!! I hope Megan sees this comment god bless your family!!!
Oh my! Megan, you are climbing all those stairs carrying Jude? Wow! Impressed!
Eve seems to be doing very well in the city.
Yay!!!!! Just asked about her a few days ago!!! Such awesomely sweet soul to add to your amazing family!!!!
I've really enjoyed going back and watching all your older videos (I'm watching your videos for the second time). I especially like listening to Daniel since in the later videos he is often at work. I see a lot of growth in Eve in such a short time frame. I know that I'm always saying how amazing you all are but I believe in sharing positive thoughts and there so many people judging others negatively so it's really nice to be able to easily shower you all in positive thoughts and to tell you how amazing you all are in your own ways. I think that you are living the dream when a good percantage of people only dream about it. I'm sending you love and as always you are in my prayers. Xx
Just came to my room after hating out with my nanny kids, if Sara will feel even a little of the love that I do for my two little kiddos they will be so amazingly loved by her! Can't wait to see how this all works out.
(So sad to think that two weeks before I end my adventure your nanny adventure just started!)
Every single one of those kids are adorable 😍
I think you guys see so brave and wonderful to hire someone for eve. it must have been a hard decision to make, but as all good parents you did what was right for her. I pray it works out.
There is a jewelry bag you can sew or buy from etsy (or some site similar) and it is usually a draw string type bag. When you open it, it has multiple pockets lined on the inside and one big open space in the middle for bracelets and such. It balls up, but keeps your jewelry organized. We moved a lot and I had to tote around my jewelry.
Love you guys! Hope you continue to enjoy your travels! I am praying for your safety, what a blessing to get to travel with your family!
dDaniel's love for food and interest...he would make a great chef
Pete and Ash are just the cutest together!!
i bet it will ok with your new nanny. so glad you guys came to a decision you feel peaceful about; can see how that would be tricky. but how cool is your kid's excitement for her time with you! :)
Esther, your hair looks fantastic and I love the color of your shirt (going to park) .. Welcome Sarah !! Looking forward to your upcoming adventures
so happy I saw this video on my home page when I logged on. I love that I found some new vloggers to follow! thanks for sharing your lives!!
Can't wait to see your vlogs in Europe soon, hope you take a detour to England :)
I love watching your videos enjoy your children, your Nanny is perfect fit
WELCOME SARAH!!!
Daniel your a great vlogger ! Would love to see more of your vlogging in the future !
Welcome Sarah !
Wow! Kids grew so much in 3 years!
We love NYC and have found you always get back from the city what you put into it. :) Glad you are enjoying it!!!
Vera Bradley has a great jewelry travel case that is flat with a bunch of compartments. I love it!
Busy busy...best family. Counting down to take off.
Your videos are the highlight of my days - thanks for sharing. You're an awesome family!
so cool to see NYC through your eyes. thanks for sharing your life
You guys seriously have the best music in your videos!! I´m always chair-dancing while watching :D
Can't wait to see you vlog in France ! Maybe I'll bump over you when you're in Paris, who knows ! Daniel is becoming more and more talkative in front of the camera it's great ! And Jude s so cute
Daniel did a pretty good job shooting with the camera! Thumbs up.

I love that she clearly prepared to travel with you guys! That's great! Speaking of jewelry organizer for travelling, I have always used Vera Bradley travel jewelry organizers, they are soft which helps protect your jewelry and there are usually tons of pockets.
She fits right into the family she even looks like a family member !! :0)
Hello Knorps! I've been following your channel for a couple months now and love following your family as you travel! What a great experience to give your kids!!
To answer your question about traveling with your jewelry, I have a suggestion. I bought two bead organizers at Michaels and use those. One is small with six compartments for earrings and the other is about 6" long and used for necklaces and other earrings. The bead boxes are sturdy, cheap, have compartments, and cone in a variety of sizes. I just returned to the USA after 11-month trip around the world and used the bead boxes to carry a few items of jewelry- they worked out great! So if you're still looking for something, check out a craft store for bead organizers and see if that will work for you.
Have a GREAT time in France! It's my favorite country out of all the travels I've done :)
I LOVE your parenting style.
You guys definitely have to come to Germany! I live in Kiel, which is quite far up north, but beautiful in the summer and right by the water :). There's a mormon church here as well ;)
Cant wait for the videos in Europe. Your family is awesome, you are my favorite channel. Excited to see Sarah in the vlogs! 😁
Never been there but that park has been featured on Law & Order SVU a couple times. Always wondered if it was a real park. I remember it being "Nanny Central" on the show too!
Where are the L & O fans at!?!?
I love that Daniel loves to cook. I was the same way when I was his age:)
i am 13 and have taken a summer job working with little girls with down syndrome i am helping to to teach then to swim and it has really opened my eyes
Wow! Maybe it is that I've never seen this amazing side of Daniel. What a fantastic kid! I saw you making that super spicy dish quite a time ago, but man! You will be a fine restaurateur!
The music on your vlogs recently has been amazing, I'm just quietly jamming out to the music while watching this video in my room. :P
Daniel seems like a great kid u guys are awesome I enjoy all your content
Oh, my gosh the peppers LOOL. I could help but laugh soooo much when reminded. 😂
I'm an Au Pair for the summer in Italy, and it was terrifying at first, but my family is so incredibly sweet and I'm really loving my experience!!
Lovely video. Hope everything works out with Sarah. God bless you all x x
Jude's little voice is so cute 💜
Megan! "Thirty-one" gifts has an amazing travel jewelry holder called the "jewelry keeper" it has so many different sized pockets all that zip up and it can be rolled or folded for storage! it's perfect for travel! :)
Yes, a friend of mine has this bag and loves it too!
I use cardboard squares/rectangles to hang earrings on and keep necklaces from tangling. Just a bunch of cardboard and poke holes in it for the earrings and then cut notches in each end to secure necklaces. Then the squares/rectangles can just be put in ziplock bags.
Watching this video brings back memories of a time I picked up Sarah (my niece & now your nanny) and her mom (my sister) at LAX for a family gathering in Southern California when Sarah was around a year old. I've known Sarah for her whole life and she is a really great person. I think you guys are lucky to have Sarah along :) And I'm happy for Sarah that she gets to be part of this adventure :)
Alex de Gaston so sad it didn't work out. still curious as to what happened.
Lol. "We just make good food and expect them to either eat it or have toast." That's my favorite line of this episode!
ThirtyOne always has great products. I don't have any of their travel jewelry things, but know people who do and love them!
My 2 biological grandsons are half Chinese and Jude reminds me so much of my 3 yr old grandson, I also have a 6 year old grandson and their mom is going to teach them Chinese, I believe it is Cantonese, their maternal grandparents do not speak very much English, so when to go to visit, "Mama and Papa, it is traditional food, and culture, even though they have lived in California over 30 years, they still speak mostly Chinese. I wonder if Daniel and Esther speak Mandarin and or Cantonese. I love that you have a Nanny to help with Eve and give her plenty of attention to blossom at her pace. whew, NY city makes me tired to watch all the long travel you have to do, but it is good exercise and people are use to walking everywhere. I live in Los Angeles, transportation is bumper to bumper on the freeways..LOL, I don't drive much out of my town which is near the beach away from downtown LA...
For your next date night, I also recommend going to Fort Tryon Park at sunset. It's at the northern tip of Manhattan so it's a bit of a trek to get there, but if you know how to use the express trains and it's just the two of you, it shouldn't be too bad.
Make sure you check out Chinatown, it's the largest in the US, just a few stops on the 6 train at Canal street. I think Daniel will love it.
Such an exciting day for your family plus one!!
everyone's so happy!
I don't remember where Sarah is from. Best wishes for a good fit with your nanny. Seems like the kids love her already.
fishing tackle boxes the one for lures works for jewelry in suitcases.
when I travel I put my jewelry in one of those weekly pill boxes! it keeps the necklaces separate and I can throw earrings, bracelets, and rings in too!
Thank you for sharing all your videos with us, I am a big fan! Please let us know if you are planning to come to London / the UK on your travels. I'd love to see your wonderful family enjoying our beautiful city :)
