Adventures in Nannying- What I learned my year as a nanny.

This year has taught me so much and made me into a better person, and I hope someday, a better mom when I have children of my own. A lot of the things I couldn’t put into words and there are countless other things I have learned that would take years to write it all down, but here are some things I learned and just some experiences I’ve had that I could only get from being a M.O.M– Mail order Mormon aka nanny J

I learned to be a little bit more laid back & to take things as they come. To not sweat the petty things. Or pet the sweaty things.

 I learned how hard it is to be a mom. & to be much more grateful for MY mom and all she put up with. It’s a 24 hour a day unpaid job working with people you love.  

I learned that no matter how much you don’t want them to, kids are going to make messes. They are going to poop in the tub and throw food on the ground. For your viewing pleasure I have provided pictures.

I learned patience. Lots of it.

I learned what it’s like to live away from my family and how to survive without them.

I learned to laugh when times were less than perfect.

I learned to be happy where I was.

This is really something I learned, but something that I thought I should note. The fact is, I have used more sanitizer in a year than most of you will use in a lifetime. Which lead me to learn that each person has their own little quirks & Liz’s just happened to be that she liked everything to be sanitized constantly J  And that’s ok. It's one of my favorite parts about her!

But most of all, I learned A LOT about me.
