[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Came onto this post because I'm 15 and I'm going to study childcare in September in college and hope to become a nanny. I have not been diagnosed with bipolar but I match the criteria and even if I don't have it I do have random manic episodes and also depressive episodes. I have also suffered with eating issues/self harm etc. Do you think I should quickly rethink my life and choose something else as no one would want to hire a nanny with mental issues?[/quote]

a) Don't waste the money on a college education with the goal of becoming a nanny. 
b) Being a nanny isn't the ideal career. You see the posts on here where nannies are claiming to make $25-35 per hour? Those jobs are very, very rare. 
c) For most families, a nanny only stays a few years. That means every few years you'll have to find a new nanny job.

I'd look into other job options. Also, talk with your parents about your eating issues/self harm. It will help you to talk to a professional about it, and they can help you find a therapist. [/quote]
