10 Things I Learned Being a Nanny…

With only one week left of summer, it is time for me to reflect on what I have learned…

1. There is a life that exists before 11am

2. Falling asleep during the 10 o’clock news isn’t just for old people

3. Kids will look at you like this when you don’t make food like their mom

4. Saying things like, “I didn’t have an iPad when I was your age” makes you soooo lame

5. Schedules actually work. And are necessary

6. Any director who makes a movie entertaining enough to keep children occupied for more than an hour deserves an Oscar

7. Disaster can strike at any moment. Blinds will fall off of the window and neither child will know why

8. The pool keeps children so entertained…

9. …but you much watch them like a hawk

10. And on the last day you babysit, you’ll feel proud and sad all at once
