15 Things You Can Relate To If You've Ever Been A Nanny
Emily Schroeder

1. You always have a snack of some kind with you.

Are they for the kids or are they for you...

2. There's always a booster seat of some sort in your back seat.

You kinda laugh when your friends get in cause someone is either going to have to sit in in or move it.

3. Finding random legos or fast food meal toys in your purse or car regularly.

Or trash, or action figures, or

4. You've accepted the fact that every move you make is questioned by a small human.

You can't even chew with your mouth closed and you're trying to tell me I should clean my car. HAHA ok

5. Going to the pool is just as fun for you as it is for the kids.

Time to relax AND the kiddo gets out all their energy.

6. Being called a babysitter is the most annoying misconception there is.

"Oh you're over 20 and you babysit a lot" NO NO NO. no.

7. Or when people try to tell you your job isn't REALLY a job.

Ummm excuse you?

8. NOTHING beats when a tiny human calls you beautiful.

UGH my heart.

9. You know way too much about current kids cartoons

No seriously, Paw Patrol? That's a good show.

10. You find yourself relating to an unusual amount of Facebook parent videos.

# relatable

11. You've mastered the art of whipping up mac n cheese.

When you have a hungry mini human and not a lot of time mac n cheese is where it's at.

12. Using the phrase "Sorry I haven't had an adult conversation yet today."

Trust me, having an intelligent conversation is highly underrated.

13. If you hear silence lasting longer than 15 seconds you start to get worried.

..ooohhhhh no

14. You're pretty sure whoever came up with the question "why" should be slapped.

Because at a certain point things just can't be explained!

15. You have awkward moments where you continue to realize one of your best friend's is an 8 year old.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
