Sorry it’s been forever folks! My lack of creativity lately has been terrible. I promise to never leave you hanging like this again.
I recently had my last day as a nanny for a family. I knew this day was coming as the mother is a school teacher and won’t need care during the summer, but I didn’t think it would be so sad! The boys were 1 and 3, and there was also an older boy (age 12) that I didn’t watch but got to know a bit.
I think the hardest part was leaving the 1 year old. I started watching them when he was 10 months and saw him start to take his first steps. I made his first birthday cake. I sang him to sleep when he was sick. I gritted my teeth while his were (painfully) coming in. I saw him go from a crawling infant to a walking, almost talking toddler. It’s bittersweet. We both impacted each others lives so much, but he won’t even remember me.
I can’t spend time being sad about it. I need to be grateful and happy that I worked for such a great family and received valuable experience as well as lifetime friends.
