As I was looking through our NannyFusion members for a guest post, I came across this post by Mom’s Best Friend and it struck a cord with me.
There are many changes happening now in my life, that ultimately affect my job, and I am blessed with an employer who respects and appreciates all that I do, which enables me to be able to move forward with those changes, knowing I have her support and trust that I will continue to do my job to the best of my abilities.
Dealing With Changes in Your Nanny’s Life
Change is a part of life. Families grow, children change schools, and parents start new jobs. Think back on your life and the changes that have taken place over the last five years. Maybe you moved, had a baby, or experienced other major life changes. Your nanny has probably experienced equally important life changes during this time, too!Many nannies are in their twenties and early thirties, which is a very pivotal age. During these years, people often graduate from college, get engaged and married, and have children. My nanny experienced all of these events during her employment with our family! What makes these changes especially tricky is that they are often unexpected. Your nanny can’t predict the future, so she doesn’t necessarily foresee when she will meet her future husband, have to plan a move because of his job, or care for her parents if they become ill. We just experienced an unexpected situation like this when our nanny went on bed rest and delivered her baby early.
