I'm going to say no to both.
The nanny that I hired was great. I could tell she really loved being around the twins.
-
Yeah, I think either of us could do it but DH would probably be better at it than me.
-
Love my job
BF would be an awesome nanny. I'm so grateful that so many of my families let him babysit when I'm already booked.
-
no and no
-
No and no. Maybe for a super short period like 3-6 months but I don't think I could it long term
-
No and no. We LOVE our DD but we're not really "into" children in general.
-
Nope to both!
-
I used to be a nanny! So yes.
-
Yes to both, especially babies. I have been thinking about becoming a night nurse after baby #2 can STTN. Hubs is probably even more of a "kid person" than I am.
-
Yes, but not for babies. I thought I got along with babies until I had two.
-
I definitely could! I did a lot of babysitting in college, and now I am a peds nurse because I love love love taking care of kids! Don't get me wrong, it was a big transition having my own kiddo and no more "getting off shift"! As for my DH-- no way! haha
-
I definitely could, as long as I had the freedom to get out of the house with the kids. If I was cooped up at the house all day every day that would be a no go. My hubs could for kids that are 3+. Feeding/Napping a baby that isn't his own would stress him out. He's always afraid of doing something "wrong".
-
I am! I get to bring my baby to work with me, which is amazing. My husband on the other hand, would hate it, so no.
-
Yes and no for me. I love kids and babies but I hate cooking so I don't think I can be a full time nanny. I think being a nanny requires some cooking and cleaning right? I could definitely tutor or be a substitute teacher! I tutored in math and for ESL students during college for extra income. No for DH. He would let the kids watch TV all day. LOL
-
Nope and nope!
-
I used to, so yes and nope!
-
yes! For sure. I think DH would be great, too--he's missed a calling as some kind of teacher or childcare person. He's so good with kids and so caring and patient.
-
I don't think so b/c as much as I would want to SAH w/ DD, I think it's much harder than working!
-
f* no. we do not have the patience, stamina or creativity for that. hats off to those who do, you are amazing!
-
Um, nope and nope. Haha.
I may have been able to do it for a very close loved one or family member BEFORE DD. Haha!
-
Me: yes, I was one for a short time before I had kids. Him: no way.
-
I could not. I am a little nervous for this summer actually being a temporary SAHM (summer off as a teacher) and she's my own daughter! I definitely could not do it for someone else; I used to babysit one day a week for my sister in the summer and the last summer I did it I basically hated it despite loving my nieces!
I think my husband would be much better than me but still can't quite picture him being a nanny for another family.
-
I worked part time as a nanny in college and had fun. Now? No way. DH would not be into it either.
-
Absolutely not and absolutely not! Id be bored out of my mind, forever wishing the day away.
-
I could definitely do it. My husband would be a great nanny. He's super fun but not the best about cleaning up. Honestly if I could make a decent wage as a nanny I would totally do it. I always joke that if I lived closer to my family I would be Auntie Daycare.
-
Definitely NO and NO. I don't even like kids but I do have three of my own. The husband is a workaholic so I can't see him staying home with kids. NOPE.
-
Nope and nope.
I'm not a fan of other ppl's kids. Lol.
-
Nope, and nope. I'm constantly amazed by LO's daycare teachers, that job would make me lose my mind!
-
Maybe. I used to work in a childcare center and it wasn't terrible. It's not my first choice for a profession.
-
@edelweiss: LOL!!!!
-
I used to. I was a full-time nanny as a profession prior to meeting my husband, and even continued it while we were married until I had my son.
I wouldn't do it anymore, though. Being a mom is hard enough..
DH would be an amazing manny. He's soooo good with kids and loves getting down on the floor and playing with them.
-
I was a nanny for almost six years. I love my kiddos, and I'm a part of their family to this day! And they love my boys. That said I'm not a kid person. It was a weird twist of fate, and a great job, but if I'd never do it again.
Hubby loves kids but could never be a manny.
