[quote=Anonymous]OP, I posted a couple months ago with a very similar topic. "Finally leaving the nanny business"- or something like that. 
it's been a little while and I'm still very happy with my decision. My new job is great, I'm happier, and feel more satisfied at the end of the day. I'm not saving lives or even making the world a better place (I'm in an office), but the differences have made such a difference in my life. 
Many of the things you mentioned resonate with me. I have coworkers which is a huge deal to me. I challenge myself intellectually, which I honestly wasn't doing before.  I have good benefits, job security, and a lot of room for growth. 
I am in no way saying nannies don't have these things. Some do, and that's good. But most don't, and I hated that feeling. 
I miss the kids, a lot. I learned a LOT from being a nanny, mostly about how to raise them and care for them. My patience has grown, my ability to redirect and stay calm and think quick have all gotten greater. And I'll take all of that with me. 
I just couldn't do it anymore and was in denial for a long time. If any nannies out there feel burnt out, done, frustrated- think long and hard about it. There are other fields to use these skills in. Post here if you have any questions or need some encouragement. [/quote]
