How To: Nanny While Being a Mom

Over the years I have found such love and warmth inside the online nanny community. Nannying is a very isolating career. Your co-workers are less than four feet tall, require diapers changes and tend to get cranky when their lunch is running late!

The interaction you have with the outside world during work hours is limited. Social media has blown wide open the doors for nannies to connect with each other throughout the entire world. I’m friends with nannies across the US, UK and Australia. By far, the most used social network for nannies has to be Instagram. A quick search can connect you with another human who has similar aged charges who might be experiencing the same types of work struggles and triumphs!

That’s how I met my internet friend, Carrie the Nanny. We started following each other almost 5 years ago. She recently became a mom to the most squishable little guy who gets to tag along to work with her. We sat down last week to have a discussion on how she is able to balance mom life while still working her nanny life!

There are a few technical mishaps that you should be able to fast forward through! Enjoy our chat about how to be nanny while being a mom!
