They are very valuable to nannies and employers! If we do not educate, then how do they learn? They may not be able to afford you, but maybe you, as an experienced nanny, can help find a nanny for the role to mentor. Talk to them and educate them, so to speak. The TikTok video, which was posted on August 3, shows Lizzie Norton, a 23-year-old nanny, and Andrew, a father of two, taking turns lifting each other up and wrapping their arms around each other in an imitation of the final dance from 'Dirty Dancing.' Andrew's wife, Rachel, can be heard giggling in the background while filming the video. If we want the public to respect nannies as a profession, then it is our responsibility to educate, not mock due to the pay or benefits they’re offering.

Think of it as educating them on different nanny roles, etc. They may have a colleague that will work for you. You might not be the right candidate, but you may have a friend that is. There is simply too much care and attention given along the way to accept the role of babysitter. It’s bath time, it’s playing trucks, it’s tea parties, it’s late nights and early mornings. You may learn something from a family you never thought of before. Being a dad is a big role encompassing so many facets of another human’s life. Now my daughter works with the family.Įvery interview you go on helps you learn more about yourself and various family dynamics. I did some babysitting for them, then filled in for a temp summer part-time gig for them before I moved. I interviewed for a family and wasn’t sure if it would work, but thought I'd go check it out. Anytime you can talk to anyone about your job and work experience and credentials, it is not a waste of time. I'm sure that will come as a shock to everyone (especially Babcia herself) since I tend to take her for granted, but I promised Dad that I'll be really good to her when she gets back from her trip.So often I see on various nanny boards that a nanny will not go on an interview, because for whatever reason they say it is a waste of time. I even cried a bit at school because I was missing her so much. Jo makes it clear that she doesn't find it acceptable.
DAD FROM THE NANNY TV
These are mostly the dads who prefer to sleep, play on the computer, or watch TV rather than being involved with their kids. I always play with them at the park!īy the end of the week, though, I was really missing Babcia and Dido. Bumbling Dad: On Supernanny, if you're not a workaholic dad or a Drill Sergeant Nasty, you might be this. Wednesday was the only day it didn't rain, so Dad took us to the park that afternoon, where I met up with my friend Ella (second from left) and her sister. One night, Dad took us to Tinga, where Henry devoured his beans with gusto. We had a good time together except for the fact that it poured all week, so we were all stuck indoors (and the night that Henry locked Dad out of the house, while Henry and I were both inside while the bathtub was running and Henry's milk was warming on the stove - I guess that wasn't too great either). Babcia and Dido were on vacation this week, so Dad took off work to watch Henry and me.
