I love my job; love my charges to bits; love (truly) my wonderful employers who were also my pod. But I’m tired. It’s just been such a hard year. I’m taking a vacation in June and I’m so glad to be vaccinated! We’re still careful with the children but things are looking up.

It’s been a very hard year.

I’m at my breaking point dealing with teenagers. Has nothing to do with the pandemic just so much homework, texting friends constantly not going to bed on time constantly being disrespected I’m about to break.

We have given our nanny, at the very least, a four-day weekend every three months since the pandemic began. Even if the nanny is just sitting at home watching Netflix, it gives us a break from each other at the very least.

Drained to the core!

Nannies, how are you doing? Though we all are hopeful that this will soon be over its a lot of nannies like myself that never had the chance of getting a break since the pandemic started and it’s be a long journey. Make sure to keep your mental health in check this has been extremely stressful for us.
