I prefer to call myself a childcare worker. (It creates a more professional word picture.)
But in all seriousness, the job of a nanny is overlooked. This post is for all those persons who make money spending time with kids.
Who else has the patience to handle 11 humans under 4 years old?
Who can hold 3 babies at once but a nanny?
A nanny spoils like Grandma, loves like mom, and teaches like dad.
It’s hard work. There are the days when every 2-year-old decides to unleash the terrible. All the diapers need to be changed at once, and everyone cries. That’s when a nanny’s superpowers shine.
It takes the toughest kind of patience to stay steady in moments like those. But it’s worth it.
You’re the last one to look into their eyes as they fall asleep.
You’re the one they run to when they are crying.
Those little voices call your name in play, and those little arms reach for you when they need love.
Yes, it’s worth every minute. And you gain a good set of skills working with little ones.
Goes to show that the most menial jobs birth the strongest qualities. Fellow nannies, we support and love you!
