Nanny Adventures: Intro
For two months now I have been nannying for one of the most awesome families I have ever met.
When I started I understood that I would be watching the most precious baby girl in the world and
helping Carrie with 9Months. What I didn’t understand was that it would take approximately 2 weeks
to fall in love with Madeleine, I would gain a new four legged best friend, and I would miss the smell of
regurgitated Similac baby formula on the weekends.
A typical (six or seven hour) day in the life of trying to please Maddie Love consists of: giving her roughly
five bottles, changing about four diapers, and the ever daunting task of trying to warm a bottle before
her screaming reaches a record high decibel level. On a not so typical day you may find me sanding/
staining wooden pallets so they can be turned into a headboard, driving to the mall to buy numerous
candles, or making a DJ spin table out of cardboard (all during naptime, of course).
To sum up my first ever blog post, I will leave you with an incomplete list of things I have learned in my
two months as a nanny...
• Maddie is ALWAYS hungry
• EVERYTHING has been covered in spit up at one point (including Macaroni’s head)
• Animals love to eat spit up, normal humans gag when they smell it on your shirt after work
• Smiles are so rewarding
And a picture to show you my typical day...
