The most important part about being a nanny...
One sweet and funny moment I’ve had with a child was during story time. I was reading a book and using different voices for each character. One child suddenly stopped me and said very seriously, “You’re doing it wrong—this character sounds braver,” then stood up and showed me how to do the voice. We both burst out laughing, and the rest of the group joined in. It turned into a wonderful moment of confidence, creativity, and connection.
