Good Nanny Sighting I saw your nanny I was at the Childrens Museum of Richmond with my son yesterday and saw some good nannies worth posting about. Usually i don't come on here and post but these were two nannies together and typically when that happpens the nannies ignore the children and chat but not these two. They were each running around and really playing with the kids. Doing the different activities, encouraging them in dress up, doing art with them, digging in the dirt. Like i said, unusual because nannies usually get their kids together so the nannies themselves can hang out but these two really seemed to want to the kids have a good time together.

There were three kids, not really sure which belonged to which nanny because both would just run off and help whichever child needed it. I assume though that it was not one family with two nannies because two of the kids looked very alike and one not so much. The nannies were both younger looking (18 to early 20's maybe). One was maybe spanish or white with long curly brown hair and the other was african american with her hair up in a bun.
The children were two girls and a boy. The girls looked to be a 3/4 year old, very pretty with curly blonde hair and a maybe 5 year old with a short brown bob cut. The boy who i think i heard them call Tanner looked a little older but since it was during the school day i would assume five or early six and he was wearing a tranformers type shirt and had dirty blonde hair.

Like i said not sure whos nanny was who because they were both playing with all three kids and helping and diffusing fits in all of them. If these are your nannies then consider yourself lucky. They seem to really enjoy the kids and the kids really seem to be attached to and enjoy both nannies very much. Sorry i don't have more specific details about nannies and the kids but i was playing with my son most of the time.

No, its like a virtual shoulder shrug. i.e. I felt this was a very commonplace sighting. Nice, but very common.

Even without knowing the details of your responsibility, it sounds like they're majorly taking advantage of you. If you're a good nanny, I'm sure you could get much better money elsewhere.
