The most important part about being a nanny...

I was picking up the “littles” from school, and when I went to the classroom, the little girl I was picking up ran towards me and yelled “yayyyyy, it’s Meme day!!” And she had drawn a picture of her family including me off to the side with “meme” above my drawing. It warmed my heart and gave me a chuckle😂!
