I love being a nanny because I know I make a difference in the lives of the little ones I come in contact with -- even if it's just a one-week temporary job. I could write 10-pages on why I know this is true, but I'll spare you. What a joy to know I've been a positive influence in their lives forever,even long after they have completely forgotten me! Anyone who works with children knows the joys of helping kids to find themselves, the pride in being a part of the process of raising a child, and the simple fun of play. We know that things we do today have long reaching effects and the work we do is important. But to me what makes being a nanny unique is that I can interact with the whole family, which can have deeper and more lasting benefits than a teacher or Read more coach. I have benefited from these relationships in ways that I cannot explain. It is an amazing relationship and one that is completely unique. I love being a nanny because, regardless of the occasional rough day here or there, I truly do love this job more than anyone I know love theirs. I love that, even when I am exhausted at the end of the day, I am happy about being able to work with children so closely every day and having an influence on them now and into the future.
