The nannying basics & rules I live by
So for this post, I thought I'd write the rules I live by as a nanny. Having spent a lot of my time observing others nannying, parenting or being early years professionals, I have formed a clear idea of how I wish to conduct myself. Here goes..... 1. Never be a lazy nanny.. In childcare, I feel someone has to really love it to be a good nanny. If you don't, its probably not right for you. My worst fear would be to employ a nanny for my own child or send them to nursery, and them being in an environment where the was no genuine interest in them or care given and staff not motivated to reinforce positive behaviour. I love seeing people that are awesome childcarers and really know what they’re doing! This isn't to say you can't have a moment to yourself, check your phone, have a cup of tea or pop to the post office to send a parcel if you need to (not forgetting to take said child with you). Its just about knowing those boundaries and ensuring the child you are working...
