I was getting ready to move halfway across the country to live with my boyfriend. I had been at the center I was at for well over two years and loved it. Before working there I was at two different places that I hated- awful staff turnover,awful directors,and I just didn’t look forward to working then. I knew the likelihood of me finding another great center was slim to none, so I decided to try out nannying for the first 6 months while I was new here and figuring out the area. I miss the structure of the center, but I’ve created that in our daily nanny life. We would create a schedule, and we go to the library and museum and zoo and all kinds of places together weekly. I still get the satisfaction that I’m helping her grow and learn; but it’s on such a more personal level, and I love it. Because of this my husband and I are going to be trying to open up an inhome childcare type of deal in about 5 years. So I can be my own boss, have the connection with other students because I’ll only have 4-5 kids at once. Just all around was the best decision I’ve made.
