1. Janitorial duties make up a huge part of the job:
"Alli, come here I forgot to do something . I forgot not to use too much paper." -Bella #deepbreaths #nannyprobz
2. Parents will inevitably come home drunk, which can get awkward fast:
3. Especially when they're like, "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have enough cash."
4. You're at the front lines of whatever kid plague is going around:
When you pick kids up from school and they were sent home with this... #nannyproblems
5. That snack drawer life is hard to turn away from:
when the mom of the kids I nanny gets home and I'm 6 deep in their Girl Scout cookies #caughtredhanded #nannyprobz
6. Kids are so mean when they think you're a loser:
Lila's face after hearing me singing Call Me Maybe. She said, this is going to be a loooooong car ride #nannyprobz
7. And they're not afraid to do all the worst things while you're there:
8. But it's OK because your coolness rubs off on them, too:
9. You can get them into the music you like best:
View this video on YouTube
(even if their parents hate it)
10. And teach them all your ~moves~:
11. But you have to be careful because any weird behavior can be traced back to you:
12. And that weird behavior can leave incriminating evidence:
13. You're hyper-aware of any activities that require serious cleanup:
In this case, colorful crepes...
14. And you know to worry when it gets too quiet:
15. Sometimes you succeed in helping the kids make new friends:
16. You experiment with new recipes:
17. When you're lucky, you might be able to get some sleep in yourself:
18. Tantrums and fits can seem like they're never-ending:
...and you're being taken hostage, apparently.
19. You have to be very careful of how you communicate with the parents:
20. You probably give the kids more treats than their parents do:
21. Because you know what you're going to be doing after the kids go to sleep:
22. In public, people ask if they're yours and you're like "NO."
23. Unless it's a cutie you want to talk to and then you're like:
"Today they are ;)"
24. If you're lucky, you get to be there for the big moments:
25. And that means you can appreciate the small moments, too:
26. But no matter what kind of insanity goes down, you can give them back at the end of the day:
27. And you can sleep soundly knowing you're helping shape the next generation:
