To be the nanny for little Prince George right now would be lovely. He is the cutest baby I have ever laid eyes on and every day would be a pleasure caring for him. He is at an age now where he is discovering new things and is probably excited about becoming a big brother.
I also would love to work for the Kardashians as well. I would love to dress baby North West up in all her expensive name brand clothes and take her out to all those fancy places she must go to every day.
You do realize that those jobs are micromanaged to the nth degree, right?
Exactly. Recall the Mariah Carey story?
I don't understand celebrity love. You can have at it.
My dream job would be half time chef, half time nanny. With little commute, excellent benefits. I adore kids and I was a chef for many years. I stopped working in restaurants due to lack of benefits, pay, and complete burn out- it's a brutal industry. I do love cooking for my families.
The best job I ever had was an 11-7. Missed all the traffic, got plenty of sleep, left work in time to have a life. I was household manager for 4 hours, then walked to the stop and became nanny to most lovely elementary student until 7. Her entire family was amazing. They moved away and I miss them terribly.
Your job sounds awesome!
Do you specialize in a type of cooking?

Whats the difference? Being a nanny is like being a SAHM but at least you aren't a mooch on your husband.
The difference is that it's your kids, house and you make all the decisions. You're not a mooch because a marriage is a team effort. All the money we save on childcare, cleaning services etc would equal any income I'd bring in from working plus I get to spend quality time with my children and get stuff down around my house. Being a sahm is benefit to any husband as he never has to worry about home life because everything is taken care of.
BS to the income portion, cooking, cleaning, and childcare does not total to more than what a a working woman's salary would be.
+1
I agree, unless you didn't go to college because your plan all along was to mooch of a man a woman can earn more than the cost of childcare month quite easily. There are plants of working women who are still REAL moms who can keep a house clean and children happy.
I never said anything about what makes a "real" mom. Me prefering to be a sahm while my children are young has nothing to do with anyone else. I'm not mooching off a husband, if you have multiple children than staying home is financially cheaper than childcare. I want my kids to have the best childcare and that's not cheap. I have a degree in Human Services and i'm working towards my MSW, but unforunately that field is not lucrative. If i had a career in finance, law or medicine than maybe I would think differently about staying home. My statement about my husband having it easier if I stay home is true in many aspects. The division of labor would be clear and he could focus on work and family time since I would be handling everything else. It's not a gender stereotype of the 50's, it just makes sense to divide everything this way. Once I returned to work than we would go back to dividing household chores and childcare equally. SAHM is not easy and probably more stressful than being nanny since it's 24/7 but I would much rather do that than care for someone else's children and home under their terms.
I love moms like you. It's really the best thing for the children. But let the "working" mothers hate what you're doing. Deep down they know you've got the hardest, but most important job.

I would love to work 8 hour shifts four days a week and have Friday's off! I love road trips and would do them way more if I could leave Thursday night's instead of Friday or Saturday.

To all the aspiring SAHM's I advise you before you marry and start having babies earn a certificate or a degree first.

Wanting to be a SAHM mom is fine, but some tend to go into it with the idea that it is easier than it looks and they can be a super human everything is perfect etc etc basically a cut and paste from an old school sitcom.
That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself and I've seen many an SAHM burn herself out with that attitude.

I was with you to the end. Marriage and real life is not a 1950's sitcom.
Different poster here, but please explain...
