Wanting Children and Being A Nanny, does not equal wanting to be around your children
People often make this mistake with me. It really ticks me off. I mean I am around kids enough in my day, that just because I really do sincerely like kids, and I do want my own kids, if I’m visiting, I want to visit you, not your kids.
Most people who know these two facts, but are not necessarily close to me, will try to coax their kids on me if we’re at a get together, yet barely visit me. Or they will call me to babysit, yet never come visit me. That does not mean I’m unwilling to babysit, I am more than willing, and I’d love to, and I’ll do it for free, but that means you have to put the same amount of effort into our relationship - the adult one. I have enough kid to adult relationships, I dont’ need another one… Adult relationships, I’d like more. Please don’t leave me to babysit, while you socialize with everyone else.
Don’t worry if I gave this website to you, it’s not you I’m referring to. But I wish people did not assume I want to spend time with their kids sans them. The only exception to this, my nephew and the kids I nanny.
