Jason and I realized that we haven't done a nanny update in forever. First we had Mali, who was with us Aug '10-May '11, when she had to return to med school. Then we had Gina just for the summer of '11, and then her fall class schedule was too complicated to be able to continue working. We decided that when searching for our next nanny, it needed to be someone who really wanted to do childcare for a living, not just part-time while also being a student. We were lucky to find Hannah, who is young but has had a lot of caregiving jobs. She came to us when the kids were at the height of separation/stranger anxiety, so morning departures were rough for awhile. But now the kids are past that and they seem to look forward to Hannah coming over - it was really cute when they started saying her name. She does lots of fun things with them, and she is great at keeping the kitchen and play areas clean.
We only have a few pictures of her so far.
This pic was taken back when there was still a lot of separation anxiety going on. They'd even melt down when we arrived home in the evenings. So they weren't thrilled about sitting with Hannah at this particular moment.
She takes pictures of them when she has a free hand. This pic is from way back in October.
These are more recent
I have no idea how she got them all sitting together and smiling!
And here's a video she took of the girls showing off their knowledge of body parts.
We're glad to have you, Nanny Hannah!
