you know you're a nanny when.....

You know you’re a nanny when…

You find yourself singing along to children’s music in the car only to remember you are currently alone

You pride yourself in finding creative craft ideas using household “trash”

You go shopping for new clothing items and one of the first requirements is that it is appropriate for your child filled days

Your purse/bag contains more of your children’s items than your own

You are excited to have 2 minutes of down time so you can finally go pee in peace

You have a car seat filled, toy carrying, children’s book totting car, despite having no children of your own

You search for answers to the question “Why??” multiple times a day

You are able to wash/fold/put away four loads of laundry, unload and refill the dishwasher, bathe/feed/dress/diaper the children, tidy up the house, entertain and educate the children all without using the TV as a “babysitter” for the children

You find yourself explaining that you’re their nanny on a daily basis

Its impossible to scroll through your cell phone pics without stumbling upon pictures of your kiddos, or one of their many activities

You have multiple bottles of baby sun block on hand during the Summer months

You have to remove the stroller, car seats, sippy cups, snacks, and toy/activity bags before using your car 


You can suggest numerous local child friendly activities to desperate parents you meet during your travels with the kiddos

You arrive home from work with stained clothing, on a daily basis

Family Fun is the highlight of your mail deliveries each month

You get excited the craft store has stickers on sale

You constantly catch yourself talking about children, or child related things, even when you’re not at work
