Thanks Treacy!

It’s funny how the grass is always greener. I was just thinking the other day how much easier it would be if I could do some nanny work instead of my work so I’m not having to divide myself between the computer and toddler duties.

But I guarantee if I did I’d probably feel much the same as you, or even if I didn’t work at all I’d find something to fixate on that would make everything so much easier . . .

Great post Zoey.

I have just started back at work as a mummy nanny so that I can take my son to work with me. I’ve been having a bit of an identity crisis with this. I went to uni, I have a degree and professional experience which I have given up so that I can earn some money but also keep my son with me. Nannies are very important and it’s a role that’s vital to our society, but it’s not a job I wanted or particularly enjoy.

Before I was a mum, I was a community welfare worker, a wife etc. Now I’m a MUMMY nanny. It seems my whole life, even my job is defined by having a child and I’m not comfortable.
