Today I was surprised at work with this sweet and thoughtful gift from one of my families for “Nanny Day”… yeah I don’t think thats a real holiday, they just decided to make it up… I’m humbled that I have been brought into so many families over the past several years to love on their children and though I don’t know what a mothers love feels like (I’m sure my heart will explode if that day comes), I have grown attached to these little people in my life.
I have also gained forever friendships with their parents. The moms I have worked for have encouraged and taught me everything I know about parenting. They have seen my good, bad and ugly days and yet they have so graciously trusted me to care for their children. I don’t know how long the Lord will have me in this profession but I can tell you this, He has changed my heart to have passion for these little people who are growing up to be amazing men and women. My heart aches to the core for them to know Jesus, to grow in righteousness and wisdom, to be courages, to be kind, to live fully, to chase their dreams and to love others as themselves.
So from here on out Modernnannyhood is going to mark May 7th as “Nanny Day”!! This will give us a year to plan for some fun things to celebrate nannies all around the world… yep the world!! I’m not sure what this will look like but how fun would that be for nannies to celebrate each other. I am always encouraged and motivated when i meet another nanny’s who love their job and care for their kids.
cheers to all the nannys out there. you matter. your enough. your making a difference in the next generation
