let's let's go back in time again. We'll talk. Let's see.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you've been on the show a long
time ago.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, when you were recording and uh flower, yes,
at the other studio like two, two times or three
times something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. So I'm sure we probably talked about
how we like, you know, when we were interviewing you
and how we hired you. Yeah, but we could just
refresh people's memory. It was down between you and a
young another young like a young lady.
Speaker 2: I think she was in college.
Speaker 1: And then so you we had you come back. We
had you and her come back for the second interview.
Where's where you met Adam? And do you remember what
Adam asked you?
Speaker 2: He asked me only one thing? Do you cook? One question?
Do you cook? Yeah? And then he asked but and
then he asked what do you cook? Oh yeah, I
remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did that. Yeah, And
I just told him anything that you want me to cook.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and did you remember if you recognized him from
TV or anything?
Speaker 2: You know. The first time when I went to the house,
I didn't see any picture of him in the baby's
room because I went to the room with you to
see them. But the second time I saw a picture there,
and I was like, oh, please, please please be an ankle,
none of that, not that that be an uncle. Not
did that. Because I saw the main show in the
MIDI show, I didn't know it was like ranchi yeah, yeah,
yeah for me, and I was like, oh my god,
this guy. He must be like a pervert or something
because I saw the episode that he was dating his mom.
Oh my, that's why. That's why I was so like,
we're out when I saw his picture there. That's right.
Speaker 1: He did do that bit where he was dating his
mom and went on a date.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he treated his dad really bad and yes,
yelling at him and back in the household man before
I kick your ass back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then he said, I know, I know my
mom likes me, but that.
Speaker 2: She likes me, likes me. I was like, oh when
I saw that picture, was like please don't yeh. Yeah.
But then I got nothing like that, nothing like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and okay, so so then you started and
you know one of the things, well, there's a couple
of lores that people have talked about, you know that
I guess Adam has mentioned a few times is when
you and I talked about it the other day about
when you smacked n Italia spanks and Natalia.
Speaker 2: When she is hid on my face.
Speaker 1: Yes, so can you tell your side of this story? Okay,
everybody's heard other people's side except for you, not even
Italian's side.
Speaker 2: Your side. I think they were like four or five
years old in at the Lake Hollywood house. In the
kitchen there was this whole bathroom with bathtub and everything,
toilet and sink, and I filled that up and give
them their bath over there because they didn't want to
go upstairs. H They were both and they and the
bathtub and then I was like, okay, it's time to
get out, and Natalia was like me force me first,
you know how Natalie is, And I grab her and
I always played with them when I grabbed them with
the towels and start tickling them. And I played with her.
Sonny was playing and the top with some toys. And
then I said okay, Natalia and now it's sunny Stern.
But at that time, Natalia got the you know, the
speeding thing with the tongue like yeah, I was doing
and I was like, Natalia, don't do that. And then
she started to do it to me, and I said, Natalia,
don't do that. That's rude. You don't do to anybody, Natalia. No.
And then I said, okay, we're done, and I put
her jammies and everything, and I put her aside, and
I said, now it's sunny Stern. When I grabbed Sunny,
she wanted me to put Sunny down and keep playing
with her, and I said, no, Natalia is sunny Stern.
And I was on my knees, you know, drying Sanny
down and tickling him and playing with him, and she
was just trying to push him away and push me,
and I said, Natalie, stop, let me finish with your brother. Stop.
And she just got so bad and then she went
like collected a lot of alive in her mind. She
split water from the from the men a saliva, and
I thought it was in the right off my face
when I just I wasn't looking at her because I
was focusing on Sunny. She was on my side. When
I felt this alive, I just you know, I don't
want when like like this. And I smack her on
the leg and she is sorry, screaming, and she was
why you didn't use your words? Why? And I said
I did. You didn't listen to me? Why? Oh my god,
my leg it's numb, it's numb. She was screaming, saying
that her leg was numb. And I thought, you we're
gonna run down because she was screaming really bad, and
you didn't. And then she was crying, and I said,
I'm gonna go and tell your mom. No, don't tell mom. No.
She was screaming, and then I was like, okay, I
need to tell her that I smack her. And when
I went over to you and I told you, she
she was, ah, my leg, my leg is numb, but
I cannot feel my leg. And she was making such
a drum. But I skip her hard, you know, to
give her something. I hear her hard and and she's like,
and when I told you she was not bally, you
don't do that to anybody. Okay, next time that she
does that, hit her harder and put her in time
out and right for that. It never happened again. She
stopped speeding immediately. She didn't do it again. But I
remember the next day when I went back to work,
I saw that she got a little bruise from my
smack and I did it hard and she got like, nope, listen,
learn let's and more speeding. And then when you told Adam,
what did he say? Oh? Oh, okay, that was it. Yeah, yeah,
And then he went to the radio station and started
talking about it, about it, huh.
Speaker 1: And then we recently told Natalia about it in the kitchen.
We were talking about it, remember, a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: But I don't think she doesn't remember that. She doesn't remember,
but she thinks it's funny. Yeah. And Italian, will we
put you through the ring?
Speaker 1: I mean she puts everybody through the ringer and she
just pushes, you know, the boundary.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah right. And she she's I mean, she's totally
different now, don't you think, My god, she changed so much.
She's grown up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's really swimet and nice and yeah, but when
she was growing up, she tried to push every you know, buttons.
We would you know, we'd be sitting there and she'd
try and get your attention, and I'd be like talking
to Sonny and then yeah, she always did. Molly would
be in between me and Sonny and she would she
would go like she'd step on Molly's tail to get
my attention.
Speaker 2: You know, she was always doing that. But you remember
what she said to you about your hair cut? Yeah,
that's funny. What did she do? She was like, Okay,
how old was she? I think she was like three
years old maybe three? Yeah, she was little. We were
in the Hollywood House. Yeah, she was little and she
was very young. And when I she was like, Okay,
do you love yourself? Why do you love yourself? Yeah,
you love yourself? Why are you are you asking me that? Yes?
I do love moiell? No you don't. I go, why
because you have a short hair? Did you love yourself
your hair shure? I like, because I like it like that.
And she's like, no, you need to have your hair long.
I go, no, I don't like it like that. She
was very much in the looks.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, well I remember too, like when I
would pick her up from preschool and she'd sit in
the back seat behind me in her in her car seat,
and I would have my hair before she could barely
talk like she was in I know, she was just
in pre school.
Speaker 2: And my hair is in a ponytail. And every single
time my hair.
Speaker 1: Is in a ponytail, she pull my hair out of
the ponytail. And you know you used to do that
my mother, my mom used to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, she took after your mother. She took after
my mother.
Speaker 1: So okay, so we're just kind of skipping around. But
so you've been with you know, you've been with us
for a long time, and you know now the kids
are gonna go off, and how do you feel about it?
Speaker 2: Oh, I've been like having a hard time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
since my birthday when you guys, I don't know you
and Sunny got up. I don't know if both of
you went to the bathroom and It'salia and I will
stay in the at the restaurant. At the restaurant when
Italia worked, we stayed at the table and she I
don't remember why she stayed and I said, I just
stopped crying with her, and she's like, please stop, don't cry.
Don't cry. You're gonna make me cry because I said
next year we're not gonna be together for my birthday
and She's like, don't say that, I will come and
be with you. Oh it's hard. I know it's gonna
be hard. It is so hard for me, I know,
because they are my babies, there are you know? Yeah,
you know this part of my job is the worst.
When you have to go, Yeah, you have to leave. Well, yeah,
I mean you we don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if a lot of people know this,
but you were a nanny to a family that had
boy girl twins. Yeah, and how old are they when
you started before us?
Speaker 2: So how they start? I started with them when they
were cheese turning one and I left them when they
were fourteen. And it was hard too. And you know
the girl she's she was here with me with Lorenzo
because she goes. She's a teacher, her specialties from zero
to four or five years old and she worked with Montessori.
Oh that's nice. And she has all the you know,
the tools how to be with a baby and what
things to do. And you know, when Paula went to
Vegas these couple of weeks ago, she came over and
she slipped over there with UH with me and UH
in our place and she was playing with Loden So
and she's like, oh my god, I miss you so much,
is it. Yeah, they had a band with them, and uh,
it's always there. Yeah, it's always there. She comes over
over there with us or we go over there with her.
We have a really good relationship.
Speaker 1: That's nice to know that they come back around. So
that's that will be sunny in Italia for sure. Oh
my god, you know, Sonny will be over to visit Italia.
You know, I could see that playing with Lorenzo.
Speaker 2: It'll be sweet. Yeah. But so when the kids, okay,
so then they they then you.
Speaker 1: Started to work with well, then you had a couple
of families in between, I think, and then you started
no idea, No, those were before the twins.
Speaker 2: Before the twins, yeah, okay, and then during the twins
because I was taking care of all the kids with
the twins. And Ridondo Beach. Oh that's right. Yeah, that's
so you have more families there, didn't you live with
that family? I live with them, but they have a
two house, two houses in the city house and I
lived on the front and the house and Ridondo Beach
that's where naturally I grew.
Speaker 1: Up, right, I went to school and went to school.
So you were a single mom raising palace. So then
they were they she grew up with those twins. Yes,
they were like brother.
Speaker 2: And sisters as a sister the girl and yeah, that's
their brothers and sister. That's nice.
Speaker 1: That's really great. Yeah, that was a good That was
a good gig for you because you had your daughter
and then you had them and all living in the
same property.
Speaker 2: That's nice. That's nice. You know. One thing that I
do is that when I work with all these kids
that I've been working with, is like, you know, I
grab them like their mind, and I do things with
them like their mind. With Paula and the twins and
Miridono Beach, they were we were going to the beach,
we were going to the park, going to buy this
and take them and we were doing a lot of
things like yeah with Tany and Natalia, right, you know,
I was taking to the beach, do this that and everywhere.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I mean I was thinking like I couldn't.
I couldn't like ever take them, you know. I mean
when they were younger, and we did we did the
Mommy and Me class like I and it was about twins.
The Mommy and Me class were four twins specifically how
to take care of twins, how to you know, how
to feed them at the same time, put them on
the same schedule, get them on the same naps schedule,
you know, And I did. I couldn't have done that
without you.
Speaker 2: I mean you. We would go once a week and
take them.
Speaker 1: To their little class and they graduated and everything, and
I just think about, like, there was no way I
was able to just you know, being able to be there,
the way I could take them to their you know,
volleyball games and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: You know, Let's take a quick break and then we'll
be back. You know.
Speaker 3: One thing that I really love and have wanted for
a long time is soft luggage, right the soft side
kind of suitcase. And I have a certain number of
suitcases in our family, but not enough to go around,
especially for checking bags and away suitcases. Just sent me
a great bag sent here to all of us. Yes,
I picked the blue color. It's made from high strength nylon.
It's tear resistant as well as weather resistant. And by
the way it has the wheels on it don't just
go one way. They're like swively, so it's so easy
to maneuver around. I am so excited about this piece
of luggage.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I was excited.
Speaker 1: They sent it to me too, and I just gave
it to Sonny and he used it for his carry
on for his trip to Japan. And it's the perfect
size for him, and it was you know, had all
the compartments he needed.
Speaker 2: It was perfect. He loved it, and we didn't have
a carry on for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they make two carry on sizes and two
checked sizes. So you got to check out the new
soft side luggage from Away. Head on over to a
way travel dot com slash f col that's Away Travel
dot com slash f col to see the new soft
side luggage from Away Away Travel dot com slash f cool.
Speaker 2: All right, we're back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like so I just remember, you know, the well,
the thing that I loved is we had a good routine. Okay,
you would come, I would get the kids to get
I would get them to school and you know, every
day and take them to school and and then you
would come later in the afternoon or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then uh and then leave in the evening
kind of thing.
Speaker 1: And then it was it would it would work out, yeah,
pretty well, yeah, I think so. It was. It was
so helpful to have somebody like because you know, as
people know, like we have no fop parents that are
helpful or were helpful. My parents died when the kids
were young, very young, and no aunts, uncles, you know,
none of no doubt, no family help. So once you started,
you became part of the family. And you have such
a great sense of humor, so you got along with
everybody in the family, you know. Yeah, and you were
you know so like I really like, you know, took
your advice on every like I relied on like when
the kids were sick. You know, I didn't know you
could give them time and all and matron at the
same time, and you told me that, you know, just
things like that, you know, and then you know, taking
them to the doctor for their vaccines and stuff like that.
You know, and when you have two toddlers, it's always
helpful to have a set of extra set of hands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it was a lot, but yeah, we
did the Mommy and Me class. That was fun.
Speaker 1: And then you know, I'm trying to think, well, the sports.
Speaker 2: I think with the sports, we were doing a good
team too, because you were taking Sonny or Natalia Natalia
when you were with Sonny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, after school for practices and stuff like that. Yeah,
that was yes, because that was fun and Italian was
she was doing volleyball. Well, then she was ice skating
to for a ride. Oh yeah, yeah, that was fun.
I took her to the ice cream ring. I loved
taking her there.
Speaker 2: That was fun, you know, just one on one.
Speaker 1: It was nice to do to do that one on
one time because back then they were always together and
I never felt like I could bond with one more
than the you know, like yeah, just because you know,
you're getting pulled in different directions. So but yeah, it
was I'm trying to think too, like some stories back
in the day, like does anything come to mind of
let's see, Well we were talking to Sunny yesterday about
him setting the alarm off in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1: So Sonny is a little afraid of his own shadow
when he was that age. Now he walks around late
at night, you know, he's fine, But when he was younger,
I mean, everything spooked him out. So you were leaving,
you kissed them good night, and then they went to bed,
and then I went to bed, Adam went to bed.
It was three o'clock in the morning. Sonny was in
his crib at the time. He was young, and he
got out of his crib and he walked halfway down
the stairs, and the whole house like lit up, and
the sound of the alarm was so loud, and it
was like, Oh my god, what the And I jump
out of bed and I hear Sonny crying and I
run down the hall. I look down the stairs. He's
standing in the middle of the stairs, looking up like
shaking like a leaf.
Speaker 2: And I was like, what, how did you get out
of bed? And he was like, what did he say?
I want to say bye to Okay.
Speaker 1: I didn't get to say goodbye to old guy because
he was he was talking about and yeah, he didn't
say goodbye to me that day that night, and I lift, yeah,
he don't remember why I think he was. He said
he fell asleep, but it was one of those sleeps
where you you're asleep for a long period of time,
but it felt like you just closed your eyes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he didn't say goodbye to me that night. Yeah,
so he yeah, and he wanted to say goodbye. Yeah,
and he got out of bed. You know, what's a
routine that we have that. I always say goodbye to
day and that night I didn't. Yeah, he's so scary
for him. I know it was scary for him. So
let's see. So we had the you know, the toddler years.
Another I just remember now that we're talking about the alarm,
Remember they weakened. You told me that that signing as Holly.
I got out of the I don't know if they
were the bed when they were in beds and the
alarm went off and both of them were with the
blankets over their heads down the stairs. Do you remember
that It sounds familiar? Well was it that Blake Hollywood house? Yeah,
and they had the blankets over there, yeah, because I
mean because they were afraid of the alarm. They always
triggered the alarm because they were getting out of the
bed to go to the TV room. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: And I remember like Sonny when he was little, he
would go downstairs and watch you know, National Geographic, Oh yeah, TV.
But he was he was coached up the come in
my room, you know, and I'd say good morning to him,
and I would get up and turn the alarm off,
you know, and before he would go downstairs, like don't
go venturing off by yourself, like for mommy. Yeah, yeah,
you know, so he learned his lesson pretty quickly with
the alarm both of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And then there was that time where they watched The
Grudge by accident. They had been with their friend Jensen
over Yeah. Oh, they accidentally turned on the Grudge and
then they couldn't sleep for like you know, Vai.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they couldn't sleep.
Speaker 1: And their friend Jensen couldn't sleep either because they were
tearing that they just learned how to use the remote
and they're turning the channel and they haven't crossed the
Grudge and we never knew what movie it was.
Speaker 2: I kept saying, what did you see?
Speaker 1: And they're like like she had this black hair in
her face, and I was like, okay, that really that
could be any movie.
Speaker 2: And she's in her nightcout.
Speaker 1: Sonny to this day hates little girls in their nightouns
reminds him of, like, yes, of the Grudge.
Speaker 2: And then finally like, I don't know, Megan, was the
your niece Megan or Anthony one of them? Yeah, yeah, Nick, maybe, yeah,
maybe it.
Speaker 1: Was Matthew one of my nieces and nephews were like, oh,
I know that movie. It's The Grudge, and then I
pulled it up. I go this movie and they go, yes,
okay is scary?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah they yeah. Did you see The Grudge Caitlin
A long time ago? Really? Yeah? Yeah, well you Scar, yeah,
so okay. So now, uh you know, uh, you've been
with us through a lot of moves. You know, we've
moved around a lot, all the moves, all the moves. Yeah, yeah,
all the moves. Yes, we moved like I don't know,
three or four yeah, and then like Wooly Wooly to
Georgian Yeah, Georgian Lesena.
Speaker 1: Now yeah, wow, that's a lot of moves. Five five moves, Jesus.
And like, by the way, I remember you and I
moving the furniture like in one of the moves, because
we moved into this house and Adam would have his
guys help us move. Remember, and we had that couch.
We moved it outside into like onto the patio and
then around the corner and it wouldn't fit around the corner.
And then and then you and I like and then Adam.
Speaker 2: Would always like demolish the kitchen or change the floors.
He does he always do something, yes, always, What would
you say is the most stressful time working with us.
I think when he was building the super garage because
signing and they needed their naps.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right in the first house. The other one, yeah,
Georgian too, because the origin was pretty bad. Bad because
the kitchen was getting that.
Speaker 2: Smell of a POxy. He was doing a POxy floors
and we had to go outside to go to the
other side of When the Easter Bunny, the Eastern.
Speaker 1: And Easter Bunny had a bad year, Yes, it was
Easter and we were under construction, and I went and
got the Easter baskets for the kids and then we
left him in the car. And the next day was
Easter Sunday, and their Easter Bunny melted and this eye
was like all the way down by its belly button.
It was just like a mess, all the candy stuck
together and sunning it Like what the fuck?
Speaker 2: Like Easter sucked this year? And my dad died that year.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yes, So not only did Nono pass away, but then
we had to eat the East Eater Buddy was all
their basket was just fucked up. And I was like, well,
maybe the Easter Buddy was under construction this year.
Speaker 2: You don't know because they were little too, they kind
of they still believed in the Easter Bunny. Uh huh
now they remember, uh huh, yeah that but that super
Urgian was like Georgian was Georgia was bad, but the
super Garage was too because.
Speaker 1: Well the suit, yes, because there was there was constant.
The thing was when he was building the super garage,

their knaves were going to happen, was like, oh no, yeah,
you know, everybody needs to be quiet. Yeah, I know
when they were taking their naps, yeah yeah, yeah, no
more noises.
Speaker 1: That was like, I mean, the thing was sunny because
my friends were having kids at the same time and
they were like, oh, you know, just take your kid
to the mall or whatever, or just take your kid
to the party.
Speaker 2: They'll go to sleep there.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, I got two and I can't
have one take a nap now and the other one
taking a nap, or one eating now and the other
one not eating.
Speaker 2: Till like yeh.
Speaker 1: It was just too much, and people like without twins
didn't understand you have to have these kids on it
when they're young.
Speaker 2: In a skate, on a schedule, in the same schedule, the.
Speaker 1: Same schedule for sleep, their bottles, everything, everything, And when
they were little, I mean I remember at night like
it would I would be up every couple hours trying
to rest feed. Then I would switch to the bottle,
and then by the time you feed both kids and
then burp them then change them, it's like an hour
and a half in between the feedings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was a lot. You know, Paula right now,
she's breastfeeding. It takes it takes a lot, a lot. Yeah.
What is is she? Uh every night she's up up
with the baby. No, not anymore, but she pumps. Oh
that's good. Yeah, she pumps at uh ten at night
and then she gets up at uh three or two
in the morning. Because that's the only thing that Lorenz
was taking. She doesn't take any formula. Oh that's good. Yeah,
she's gonna do it until it's a year. That's good,
she's gonna yeah, yeah, go, you're gonna miss that. Do
you get up with him in the middle of the
night when he was a newborn. I was helping Paula. Yeah,
because at that time he wasn't relaxing. He was drinking
milk out of a battle, not up from the boob. Yeah,
And because of that, I was telling her she just
don't get up sleep. I'm gonna give her, give the
baby the battle and then you, yeah, you get up,
You're gonna be arrested. Because she wasn't sleeping at all.
She was She's always thinking about the baby and getting
up and I was just relaxing, sleep with the baby,
and I can sleep in the morning. Yeah. Yeah, And
I was helping her with that. Yeah, that's good. So
she's so lucky, you know she had. The good thing
is that Lorenzo can breastfeed or battle. He doesn't mind.
He doesn't fight if I give him the battle. And
with the boat, he loves it. He goes and start
looking and squeezing himself to get into the boob and
he's fine. Yeah, that's the good thing that he takes both. Yeah,
that's good with no problem. Yeah.

was only like a year or two, but it was
like kindergarten in first grade and then uh so we
put the condo. Then all these other people started moving
into the school, a lot of like people were doing
the same thing at the time, and the yeah, that's
what they said, a lot of Russians and the school
was like, we're we're getting you know, this is we're
getting way over the limit.

some address and so but then I was like, hey,
I play taxes on this place. Is my condo? I
own it, Like why can't my kids use the school there?

could use something nice, you know, you know with him,
you never know, maybe he with somebody and he doesn't
say anything. He wouldn't say no. I don't think he's
not like that.
