I loved them as my own and found that love is a BIG part of the job. Being a Nanny becomes very personal as you love, nurture and teach these precious children who are in your charge. Since they were my first family, the other jobs I have undertaken since have, for better or for worse, been compared to them. The Grieser children were perfect in my book and I don't know if I will ever find another family like theirs, but the other families I have worked for have children that most definitely have touched my heart. For a year I was a Nanny for two families on alternating days and worked roughly 45-60 hrs a week, but after much prayer, I recently left the Mayes family. They had the most adorable twin girls and I was so sad to leave,
but I knew they would be alright without me. When I prayed about which family to Nanny for, I decided to stay with the Luttinen Family. I feel VERY needed there and though it's hard work being a Nanny of four girls (ages 2, 4, 7, and 17) verses two, I knew it was the right thing to do! Being a Nanny has also made the transition easier for me as I find myself an empty nester!
