It’s not too late, PP! Go to college. That said, I am a very happy nanny with a college degree. |
I set aside one day each weekend where no one calls my name or needs me for anything. |
Honestly just being able to complete a task start to finish without being interrupted twenty times is a luxury. I love my nanny kids, but it’s so nice not to have to stop every 30 seconds for someone to show me they’re drawing, have me kiss a boo-boo, complain about a sibling touching their stuff, ask me random questions, etc...so just being able to complete an entire task such as folding laundry or making dinner without losing track of where I was or what I was just thinking or doing is really nice right now. |
I don't have to ask Who stinks? What are you doing? Why is everything sticky? |
Sunday night, after a very peaceful and quiet weekend, I am ready to go back to singing, silly games, stinky diapers and those huge smiles.
I love being a nanny! |
I’m pretty sure my college degree has not influenced my employers willingness to let me have control of their AC while I sit on the hard floor and play with their children... On my days off I read books without pictures, eat meals without correcting anyone’s table manners, talk to adults without being interrupted, and refrain from asking anyone if they need to go potty. |
[b] Yes but your college degree gives you freedom and options. I’m not going to make $30/hr doing anything besides being a nanny without a degree. So I will continue to sit on the floor and melt. I used to like being a nanny but I’m realising I only like being a nanny for girls. I’m so tired of GI joe and army men. |
You don’t need college to turn on the a/c for yourself. |
I’m not ALLOWED to turn it on |
But you are ALLOWED to find another family. You don’t have to settle for a crappy family. |
I ate my whole lunch by myself today and used the bathroom alone. I didn’t answer one “what did?” Question. |
No listening to whining or stomping. No searching the house for library books. Getting to pee in peace. Getting to drink more than a sip of water in peace. |
I was off today and didn’t sing one song aloud or rhyming poem! |
Anything she wants to do and she takes no calls,
emails, or texts from MBs! |
