The Nanny Diaries

 *dishwasher whirs*
Eric: What's that sound?
Nanny: The dishwasher.
Eric: What's it doing?
Nanny: ...washing dishes...

Nanny: Do you have to go potty or not?
Jack: Neah.
Nanny: ...was that yes or no?

“Do girls even pee?” - Kendall

Kendall brings new meaning to “pants on the ground.”

I have yet to see him without three inches of his butt crack visible.

 *Kendall is holding Clementine on his lap*
Nanny: Be careful not to drop her. She sure likes to wiggle!
Kendall: Yeah! Like The Wiggles!
Nanny: Yep! She's a Wiggle.
Kendall: A pink Wiggle.

NEW FOLLOWERS!

This makes a whopping eleven. I feel so special.

So thanks to all of you, and don’t be shy. I’m always open to some new ideas or questions or whatever. Feel free to attack my ask box.

You guys are awesome!

Also - Kendall can’t remember all their names.

So every day he asks me to name them all… and I could do it in my sleep… <.< >.>

I have a new fondness for The Wiggles

Hard to comprehend, I know.

But even baby Clementine gapes at the television when they come on.

Oh the charm of little boys and little dogs...

Kendall: 	Hey Nanny.
Nanny: 	What?
Kendall: 	Yesterday, I was holding a bird.
Nanny: 	You were? That's cool.
Kendall: 	Yeah. And then I dropped it, and Tara ate it.

Hi there :) I'm about to start my 2nd live-in nannying job and felt like a blog might help me keep my head on straight. I was wondering if you follow any other nanny or child care blogs that you wouldn't mind passin' on to me. It's a pain and a half trying to find them. Thanks! ~Meg

Well hi! I don’t, actually, as I kind of just started this with the intention of keeping a kind of scrapbook of memorable notes for myself in the hopes of amusing a few people along the way… but I’ll be sure to pass along any names to you if I come across them! I followed you so I can keep track of you. Not to sound creepy or anything. ;-) Best of luck to you with your new job!
