Not a week, but maybe an off day.

I've just been a little forgetful this week. Like not mentioning to MB something that happened and I wanted to tell her but then forgot. I feel like a terrible nanny.
My charge threw herself out of her bouncy seat (not hurt - I was right there washing our her bottle) and I left and forgot to tell the parents. I woke up at three in the morning in a panic that they will put the baby in her bouncy seat, she will throw herself out and die. I get there before the baby wakes up so I told them the second I walked in the door and apologized for forgetting. They were completely "no big deal" about the whole thing.
Definitely not a humble brag. I freak out over these things because I want to be a perfect nanny. I know that is stupid and unrealistic but something I'm trying to get over.

Sounds like a humble-brag. "Oh no I forgot to tell MB that aiden laughed when he saw a cat today."

Thank you. They are wonderful parents but it's nice to hear this.

No. I'm sure you're doing much better than they are, when you're gone.

Nope, I'm pretty competent.
