by editors@theworld.org (Angela Lu) from The World: Latest Stories on (#770R0)

Spain seemed like the perfect choice for one Canadian woman on her gap year: a steady job as a nanny. On GBH's Stories from the Stage, Angela Lu shared how she managed to rewire the tedium of that work, so that it wouldn't define the rest of her life.
