I am sorry my question is not related to job
I am nanny and I divorced almost three years ago. Now I am ready to date . Do you guys tell the guy that you are working as nanny when you date ? I don’t know I am not comfortable to say that I am nanny . I was workin as Child counselors and never hesitate to tell someone about my job but I am not comfortable to tell someone I am nanny ( btw , I am making much $$$ better as nanny then Child counselors or teacher ( my friends who are teaching and making less then me ) Please please I am not judging anyone I just wanted to know do you tell about your profession ( nanny )when you date ) Thanks in advance |
I mean...it is usually one of the questions that gets asked on a first date. I'm not sure how you would go about not telling someone what your job is... |
It is an honest job so why should you be embarrassed? |
It's tough for me to say that I'm a Nanny to ladies I date because I'm a guy...
Some women think men shouldn't do childcare, or that I won't make enough money to be a breadwinner. But if you are a Woman you should have no problem. |
I love being a nanny and enjoy telling everyone what I have the privilege of doing for a living. |
If you’re ashamed of being a nanny then you shouldn’t be one.
I love being a nanny and tell anyone who asks. Your issue is with your self-esteem, OP, not our profession. |
My boyfriend's sister is a retired teacher and now a nanny. She brags to all who will listen -- including her dates and boyfriends. She is now taking care of 3 kids and not 28 and getting paid verrrrry nicely. |
Op here you advices give me confidence . If you guys are not ashamed then why me ????
Yes issue could be with my self esteem. Thanks for all replies. |
Is there something you’re worried about if you say nannying? Like they’ll say it’s not a real job or look at you as the help? Maybe we can give you things to say if that’s the issue. |
Princess Diana worked as a nanny and didn't seem to be ashamed of this: she didn't bother telling her charge's parents she was aristocracy. She also worked as an aid in a preschool. |
Being a nanny is the same as being a maid. I don't care what degrees you have. It tells me that you have no ambition as you have chosen to work in a job with no advancement and no possibility of ever having a decent salary. Yes, it's van honest job but you're still a maid. |
She also knew that she would marry well and her job was more of a lark notva profession. |
I’m a teacher, not a maid. |
Teachers do not wash clothes, change diapers, light housework, or cook for their students. |
I homeschool children age 2 through high school. Part of that includes life skills or home ec, whichever you want to call it. FYI, preschool teachers and special ed teachers do change diapers. |
