[quote=Anonymous]It all gets so much easier, I promise. I felt a lot of the same things when I was new to nannying. It's difficult when you love a job but hate the stigma that goes along with it. Many of my friends still don't understand and people ask me when I'm going to get a real job with real benefits and a salary. Many people are misinformed about nannies, so enlighten them. Also try to stick up for your profession or read (positive) nanny blogs or even semi-silly buzzfeed articles about why nannying is so great because after one year post grad, all of my friends' new and exciting office jobs started looking really drab and nannying remains to be extremely fun and rewarding. There are definitely perks that not many other jobs have like being outside a lot, wearing street clothes, getting exercise, time to yourself during nap time, no annoying coworkers, flexibility, and having no two days be the same. As for the relationship with NF, it's just like any other relationship; as time goes on, you will feel more comfortable sharing more. Always be careful not to overshare but don't worry, if it's a good fit then you will become close with your NF on a more personal level and it will be organic rather than forced. Also make friends with other nannies with similar backgrounds to yours, there are many. Good luck! [/quote]
