being a nanny is so weird because there are kids that I played a massive part in raising who were with me all the time who I snuggled and kissed booboos and loved on, and Iâm pretty sure they wouldnât be able to pick me out of a line up because they were so small đđ
Going back to work for the first time in three (3) weeks due to holidays from both sides and Iâm genuinely so anxious. Like avoiding going to sleep so I donât have to awake up tomorrow. Donât get me wrong I love what I do and I love the family I work for itâs just going back to full time work after three weeks off is going to be a lot. I also know L is going to have intense separation anxiety and likely a routine change so I have no idea what the day will look like.
Plus, I asked about reducing my hours from May so I can support more families over the summer and they said letâs talk in person so that will likely happen as well
Aaaaahhhhhhh anyways someone yell at me to go to sleep and tell me to stop being stupid and that it will be okay and I do know what Iâm doing
Yall signed up for the yaps and here they are đđ

zines I made with a 4 year old today! đ©”đ§Ą
while kiddo drew, I got bored and drew patterns. then I realized it could be a cool background for a zine, and that the markers in front of me were Bluey and Bingo colors. I printed out the phone wallpapers from the Bluey website for us to glue in, and realized while cutting I shouldâve let the 4yo cut them out (I wasnât expected them to be so good at cutting). the one the kiddo cut out was Bingo with face paint on. the kiddo designed and glued down the rest of the elements (like what way to write the titles and where the cut outs should go)
side note: I need to make a ko-fi or something to share my zine PDFs
I love making zines with the kiddos I babysit â„ïž
they always call them books and will correct you if you call them zines lmfao
seeing a âbookâ get made out of a single sheet of paper blows their minds (and so did my first mini zine)
especially for the younger ones, itâs a great collaborative art project to do that grows your relationship with each other
making zines strengthens their social skills (either by making them with you or by sharing copies of their zines), helps their hands develop and become strong, engages their creativity and imagination, improves hand-eye coordination, teaches patience and how to handle happy accidents as Bob Ross says, and engages their critical thinking
and thereâs probably more benefits i donât know about!
they will be clueless about what to make or put in their zines without seeing how you make your own or having ever seen one before, so be prepared to walk them through it or for them to model their work after what youâre doing
the kids are not alright, but they arenât iPad zombies either. sure, so many kids have developed a screen addiction, but all addictions can be healed. [**this kid I made this zine with is fine / not an iPad baby btw] another 5yo I was coloring with is a little bit of an iPad baby and they literally said to me âcoloring is more fun than the iPadâ. the kids, like every kid ever, need connection. when I do crafts, activities, and games with kids, theyâve never asked if they can watch their iPad / tablet. the closest thing has been them asking if they can play a video game, and I play with them. ways to get them off the iPad: ask them what theyâre watching and show interest in what theyâre interested in (brings their attention back to the present moment and they get to connect with you), start doing an activity quietly yourself (in 5-15min they usually get curious and join you), for older kids invite them to a game or playful challenge and if theyâre still really wanting screen time set a timer for 10-15 min and then they can chose to play with you or do something by themselves or with a sibling (be both kind and firm about it. be clear thereâs no room for further negotiation on it and that the negotiation was that youâre giving them an extra 15 minutes. be kind and patient with them about this though because imagine an authority figure telling you you need to get off your phone. yeah, it sucks. you can also remind them when theyâll get to use their iPads / tablets again to help with processing not having it for the time being. Also! respect that they might be in active text conversations with their friends, so when you give them those 15 mins you can also remind them to let their friends know they wonât be using their device for the time being)
I pissed the kid I nanny off so bad (because he had to go outside and play but his sick brother doesnât). And now heâs writing me hate mail. Heâs so mad heâs not even playing his video games. Heâs drawing pictures of me getting killed by skibbidi toilet

observations iâve made from working with kids for 8+ years:
Energetic â Bad
Manipulation is learned. Kids try to manipulate you all the damn time, which is cute because they donât know how. The ones who DO know how learned it.
Kids of all ages need to be engaged in as much physical play as possible, to the fullest extent that they are comfortable.
Competition is a poor motivator and it will come back to bite you in the ass.
Most boys are obsessed with balls. They will hit an age and you will no longer be able to say âballâ around them. The best way to deal with it is to laugh once, and then tell them not to beat a dead horse.
All kids are smart. This is their first time being a human, so they donât know anything. The quiet or âslowâ ones (which is bullshit) are often scared to ask questions, or donât know how.
And my favorite: kids are just little humans. They arenât extra pure or extra sweet just because theyâre little (trust me). They also arenât extra bad or extra anything. Theyâre small humans that donât know much besides the fact they feel things they donât understand.
I'm a nanny and lately I've been reading Tim Drake: Robin when I'm at work and me and the toddler are stuck waiting for something. He's taken to the pictures and likes to sit on my lap while I'm reading (I obviously don't let him see any violent stuff).
At some point he pointed at Robin and then looked at me asking "baba?" (what he calls me) And I was like "that's Robin, Ra-bin". He kinda got it at first but then decided it was just easier to call Robin "Bobby" so now every time I flip to a page with costumed Robin on it he points and goes "Baba, look, it Bobby. Bobby!"
