On 'What IS a Nanny'

We are the Kleenex that doesn't come in a box.

We are the jungle gym when it's cold and rainy outside.

We are the wet nap when your fingers are sticky and dirty.

We are the teacher before you're allowed to go to school and later after you arrive home.

We are the chauffeur when you have appointments and extracurricular activities.

We are the ones who hold you when you cry, cause mom can't be home to do it.

We are the ones who catch all
your colds since you are too young or can't quite comprehend the idea of covering your mouth when you cough.

We are the vomit bucket holders, the baby potty cleaners, and the bum wipers.

We are the friend to play with when everyone else is busy.

We are your role models and the ones you hope to be like when you grow up.

We're the ones you want to marry before you understand what that really means.

We are magicians who invent games when your bored and cranky.

We are the bed when you fall asleep in the car and have to be carried in.

We are your biggest champion and the one who knows you best, next to mom and dad.

We are your world, until you turn 3 and want to do it all on your own.
