This has to be one of my favorite Table Talk Thursdays of 2013… a family tradition as being a nanny!
Our guest post today comes from Nanny Lindsey Kanis Ayers. Read the how and why of her nanny journey and how it’s almost a family tradition …
I often find that once people find out what I do for a living they immediately do two things. First, they assume I work for someone wealthy beyond belief, powerful and/or famous. Second, they are interested in how and why one becomes a nanny.The first assumption couldn’t be further than the truth. I’ve been employed by a variety of people, none of whom where rich and famous. In fact, I’ve worked for a stay at home mom, a single parent, an entrepreneur, doctors and business people. It is true that professional athletes, politicians and billionaires often have nannies (and likely several other domestic employees) but that doesn’t mean that everyone who has a nanny is in that boat. Some people simply see the value in investing in a nanny rather than conventional drop-off daycare or extended school day programs.
