When Scott and I were brainstorming about our Fall craziness and how to lessen the impact on our little wonders’ need for consistently and structure – we had many conflicting feelings about hiring a “nanny.” Would that mean we’re not taking responsibility for our own kiddos? Will she take care of them with as much urgency as needed in their particular situation? And most importantly, would someone be able to handle their behaviors and tantrums and not be scared away???

Our initial interview with our amazing current “WonderNanny” was much more about laying out what could happen under her watch and then seeing if she was up to the challenge. And oh man, we are so grateful she was. She jumped in, attached instantly to WB and WG and has been such a positive light in their lives. Please check out these amazing gifts she sends our way to surprise them.

And then came….

And in the end, every family needs different amounts of support and structure and WonderNanny completely gives us some respite and breaks during a season we need it the most – and for that, we are so grateful she fell into our lap.  We love her so much!

**Many people ask how we found WonderNanny. It went a little something like me browsing care.com and then being shocked at the price of using the site per month. Then stalking nannies I liked and looking them up on FB to see if they might fit. A couple of messages later and voila! No fee, easy communication and a bit of a care.com hack if you will.**
