[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a nanny, but I have worked night shift before in a different occupation. People are going to say to you, "Oh, you work nights? That's great that you have your days free!" and assume that you are just "available" all day (to do social things, to run errands, to help them with favors, etc.) You have to keep in mind (and let them know) that you do not "have your days free" any more than they "have their nights free" (as in 10 pm-6am)--that is your time to sleep! Keep to a schedule of when you sleep during the day and stick with it. Learn to say "no" to requests to meet during your regular sleep time (they wouldn't expect someone who worked normal "day hours" to do social things at 2 am!)[/quote]
