I've been a nanny for years and I've never ran into one out in the wild. This job is pretty isolating as I have no adult to talk to besides the NPs. Are there any nannies out there who want to be friends and hangout :)
Hi career nannies! I am in my late 20s now and currently hold an infant/toddler credential. I'm trying to budget right now, so I am trying to recieve as much ECE as i am able. I am moving toward with my education and inquired about an early childhood educator apprenticeship. I am hoping that this will help me gain some teaching experience as well as learn more skills and techniques with supporting social/emotional development, developing a curriculum, and creating a developmentally appropriate environment for early childhood milestones. I also want to specialize in infants/toddlers specifically.
May I have some input from career nannies if I am on the right track? Any other ways I can strengthen my resume so I can hopefully apply to nanny agencies next year? Ive been with the same family since my early 20s and would like to move on. This is also my first nanny family.
If the nannying career thing doesn't work out, at least I can be a preschool teacher as a backup. I just enjoy nannying a lot more.
What is the rate for a Saturday night babysitter for 5 hours and 4 kids, two of which are two year old twins? I was thinking 20/hr because of the # of kids and ages of kids.
I've been seeing a lot of content on my tiktok called A Day of My Life as a nanny and I'm seeing a lot of these content creators posting videos of The Nanny kids. I'm very surprised that the nanny parents allow this kind of behavior. it is very dangerous to be posting your children all over the Internet and making them a target of child porno. I think that as a nanny a child's safety and well-being should be the utmost priority.
Im about to have a family meeting with my nanny family about the summer schedules and parenting stuff. We've been having a lot of trouble with the youngest for years. I havent corrected the behavior too much in the past, because the parents have expressed that they want to deal with it. Its getting to a point where hes threatening to kill his parents. I have been away on vacation and Im hearing from the other kids that the youngest has been a nightmare while I've been away. How do I bring up wanting to implement boundaries, expectations, and social emotional learning with these parents without sounding judgemental ? Ive tried in the past and got shut down. Im also a young nanny, so the parents may not feel like my opinion is as valuable, but ive been around these kids for years, and i have a great relationship with them and i know then very well and the older kids have complimented how i handle the youngest. Ive been with this family for years, and the boy will be in 2nd grade soon. Thank you for any suggestions and I will delete this in about 2-3 hours.
