Confessions of a Nanny


Don't know if you knew this.
But I already have two kids in my life, Monday-Thursday
They've been prepping me for motherhood since 2009.
325 PB&J sandwiches and 4500 pushes on the swing later,
I almost feel ready.


Yesterday, they were trying to brainstorm suitable names for Baby Bean.
My only requirement..."a good boy name."


The top contenders were:

*Alex
*Chompy
*Trucker
*Tree Climber Junior



They are my little munchkins.
Until November.
Then it's time for me to have my very own munchkin, Monday-forever.

  5. I'm a fan of Trucker. It actually almost works as a real name!

    I miss being a nanny. Sometimes when the office is super stressful I ask myself why I ever quit doing that...

  8. Haha those are some cute names! I feel the same way about the kiddos I nanny for... they're my "nuggets" and as much as I love those little nerds I can't imagine how much more love I'll have for my own nuggets one day! :)

  11. Oh this melts my heart. I love hearing what little ones come up with. I babysit a little girl and her baby doll's name is, appropriately, Baby (: And everything in the world ends in a "y"...snacky, cribby, grapey, swimmy....it's adorable.

  14. Haha I love the names they came up with! And I've been a nanny before too {most recently for a family of nine children with two-year-old triplets} and I'm pretty sure that helped prepare me for future motherhood too!

  26. This was such an adorable post! Though, I expect nothing less from you... I have 2 little sisters. They've been training me for motherhood since I was 14. I don't know if I'll ever be ready though... I still love turning them over to their real parents at the end of the hour, day or week I have them.
