I am working as nanny almost ten years.
To be honest now I don’t enjoy my job any more. I used to love kids, babies but not anymore. I don’t like when they cry now. I used to entertain ( without complaining)them hours and hours whenever they used to cry. Do you think do I have to change my career? I am 38 btw ( with bachelor degree) I worked as nanny since I used to love children and had flexibility to do different activities with them. Any suggestions Thanks |
Yes, change to a career that doesn't involve children. |
Yes, it sounds like a good time to change careers. Your feelings will not change on their own and it isn’t fair to half-ass it with a child. |
What is your mother-tongue language, OP? |
Yes. You have burn out. Nothing to be ashamed about because it can happen to anyone in any job. Good luck. |
Yes, it is definitely time to move on to something else.
You are getting older now & probably have less patience overall. It happens to the best of us. Good luck w/your future endeavors. ![]() |
Op here , it’s not about age and patience . I have friends who are in their late 40s but still enjoy children. Yes everyone is different. I don’t want to spend time even with the children are very sweet and calm Thanks for all replies you are right I have to change my career . |
It sounds like burnout. Can you afford to take a month off and then reconsider? |
Restaurants are hiring. |
So are businesses and schools. OP is a college graduate. |
Op here Thanks for great advice . It’s almost two weeks I am not working and I am missing my previous charges badly. It’s almost week I love to communicate with strangers children. I think I was little tired. I was nanny for so long . How come I worked all those years if I didn’t love children. Thanks again |
