The Benefit of a Nanny

So today I am at the park with the Nannies, the Grandmas, and the Stay at Home Mommies.

My Denver peeps.

I have a lovely conversation with a Nanny of three young children under the age of four. She works 11-12 hour days. She is exhausted. I can imagine. She's in her early twenties, single and seems a little new at this job.

Then later I overhear her conversation with another Grandma. She tells the Grandma that while she loves her job she is exhausted and she loves kids, but they are a handful. The 2 and 4 year old sometimes nap at the same time, but the baby is on her own schedule. She never has a moment to herself and while she always thought she wanted kids and she still does, this has made her think she's going to wait a while.

Yup, just as I thought, being a Nanny is great birth control.
