When it comes to juggling life, work, and the mental load, sometimes extra help with the kids is necessary.
But finding the perfect nanny (or the perfect family to nanny for) can be a nightmare, and it doesn’t always work out.
We asked 10 women to share their nannying nightmare stories and let’s just say… we’re terrified.
When fathers look after their kids, why do we call it babysitting? Post continues after video.
The Nanny.
“The kids were crying and I threw up everywhere.”
“I was brutally hungover and looking after my nanny kids. I was walking them home from preschool and the two-year-old boy stepped off the path and went onto the road. I jumped out to grab him (0.4 seconds before he got hit by a car) and we both fell backwards on the ground. While that was happening, the pram I was pushing with the four-year-old girl in it started rolling down the hill so I jumped up and ran after her while she was screaming, with the two-year-old in my hands. I got to the pram just before it went on the road. We all fell in a heap and the kids were crying and I threw up everywhere because I was so hungover and it was such a shock.”

Aaah! I’m having flashbacks. The time one of my nanny kids drank a whole bottle of liquid antibiotics, or the time the family asked me to do a grocery shop and then refused to reimburse me. I need to have a lie down now, this article has traumatised me. 🤪🤯😲
What happened to the kid who drank the antibiotics?
He was fine
Oh my god. Asking for a TV remote Control? Lol. 😀 The rest are crazy, but seriously?
