She was an absolute life saver. I don't know what I would've done without her. She bathed our newborn properly until I wasn't terrified about doing so, she taught us everything. She seems to love DD like one of her own too. I was so sad when we had to move. We still e-mail, we are in different countries now and she just sent us a gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-in-touch-with-old-nannies#post-2144298 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 22:40:59 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2144298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a nanny and am still close with one of my families. I babysit for them occasionally still for date nights! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-in-touch-with-old-nannies#post-2144282 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 22:29:11 +0000 Torchwood 2144282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't with any of the families I nannied for. One did invite us out on their boat shortly after I stopped working for them, but I wasn't able to at that time and they never reached out again. I probably should have, but I'm all socially awkward and weird so I over thought it and stressed myself out and didn't.</p> <p>I did stay in touch a little with the last mom, but it got awkward because I was pregnant the first time when I left them, and had to tell her about the miscarriage when she asked how I was doing. And then later we talked occasionally and she was pregnant again, and I wanted to check in and see how she was doing but I had lost R and she knew I was pregnant, so if I asked how she was she probably would have asked about me and that just would have been hard to go into. So I let it drop. I do wish she was on FB or something so I could have stayed in touch that way without having to directly explain everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-in-touch-with-old-nannies#post-2144257 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 21:42:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2144257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been a nanny for several families - and have stayed in touch with three families! The few I didn't is because it was short-term, didn't get as close, etc... but anyone I was with for a year+, I've stayed in contact with. Two of the families are local to me and I see both fairly regularly, and the other lives near DH's family and I see them whenever we go out there. I love it- it means so much to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-in-touch-with-old-nannies#post-2144250 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 21:33:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2144250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nannied for a year for a family with twins and I tried to keep up contact but they didn't seem interested. </p> <p>I nannied for another family for a year and a half (and only stopped because I got pregnant!) and we keep in touch via Facebook and I go to their birthday parties/events and vice versa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-in-touch-with-old-nannies#post-2144247 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 21:32:04 +0000 youboots 2144247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a nanny for 9 months and we stayed in touch for a year or two after, no contact now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-in-touch-with-old-nannies#post-2144241 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 21:27:57 +0000 mrbee 2144241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're really close to one former nanny, and email with her pretty regularly. We didn't click in the same way with another nanny, and haven't kept in touch. </p>
