There has to be someone for EVERY job. I mean, think about all the jobs there are. There has to be someone suited for each one. I have sometimes thought "I'm just a teacher" because I always thought I would be something that made more money. But I LOVE my job and I am GREAT at it. Good post!

So, you're "just" a stay-at-home mom? Excuse me? Come again? Yeah bish I am, and Dr. Phil even said its the equivalant of working two full time jobs so THERE I say to all those naysayers 🙂

You are so much more than what people label you as! Ugh! It is so frustrating to hear comments like that, and I get it a lot! People need to realize that EVERY job, EVERY occupation, EVERYTHING a person does takes effort and talent.

It's so rude and annoying. I did my job well and made a {modest} salary. I paid my taxes and when most people realized how much I did throughout the day, they would often comment on how I do so much more than they do and that they could never do my job! It's tacky how people assume the worst. Oh, and I have a bachelor's degree in social science and education!

I'm a mom and that's hard enough sometimes, but you're responsible for lives that aren't your own! Kudos to you for being JUST a nanny 😉 Beverly Hills Nannies, here you come?

I have my degree in Elementary Education and then just received my MASTERS in Library and Information Science but because the job market is so horrible it's so difficult to find something full time at the moment so I resorted back to nannying. So many of my friends were appalled when I told them that but I've been doing it forever and I love meeting new families and raising their kids. It's seriously the best job (plus tax free) and people shouldn't judge on your occupation. It's our choice right? At least were doing something and not sitting around watching Bev. Hills Nannies and eating chocolate..oh wait I did that last night 😉 Super long post but I def support your decision! xo
