If you want to catch up on the happenings of Day 1 of our real life nanny diary which follows a nanny and a mother in the first week of a job just click here<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n My legs were killing me this morning and we had even more walking today because there\u2019s a baby class in the centre of town. The upside is I got promised Starbucks and told to make it a weekly thing because there isn\u2019t time to go home in between the school run and class and nowhere to hang out in the middle. Yay!<\/p>\n We went to music class together and then MB left to meet a friend for lunch so I had to walk to nursery, only just making it in time for pick up, and number 3 came along quite happily which was a really good sign. I was a bit worried she would kick off that it was me picking her up but it was fine and she was super well behaved on the way home. I guess because MB doesn\u2019t drive they\u2019re all used to walking and have good road safety sense, or at least as good as a 2 year old can have. She walked part of the time and asked to go on the buggy board when she was tired which I found a bit difficult to push. I might ask MB about getting a cheap double buggy because I think my arms are too short!<\/p>\n I think one job for Monday afternoon is going to be preparing something for Tuesday lunch because time is really tight and we were a bit late today which pushed nap time back and the school run was a rush yesterday. Thankfully they didn\u2019t sleep as long today and when I asked MB she said they often had a long nap Monday afternoon which I\u2019m glad I found out now! I managed a load of laundry and transferred it to the dryer, and prepped dinner and even had a sit down to rest my aching legs before this evening\u2019s charging around. Tuesday is normally going to be an early finish because as long as MB is back I can take the boys to Beavers and go home but today MB just wants me to check back in.<\/p>\n We had a good chat about playdates on the way home. When I asked about them at interview she said she was really happy that it will be possible and she wants me to feel free to arrange things for the children or have people over and then she refused to let the eldest go between school and Beavers tonight but I\u2019m glad we had time together for her to explain where she\u2019s coming from, and it makes sense. Plus it makes my life easier if I can just leave when MB comes home without having to do an activity run!<\/p>\n I really need a hot bath but we don\u2019t have a bathtub so a long, hot shower in going to have to do and an early night. I think I\u2019ll be able to cancel my gym membership at this rate.<\/p>\n Mother:<\/strong><\/p>\n Today was, I think, a pretty good test day. I hung back a bit in the morning and even managed to put make up on before the school run. We had a quick chat about yesterday when getting coffee in between school and rhyme time and there didn’t seem anything majorly wrong. I managed grown up lunch out with a friend and met up at the school gate just in time to explain the rules on impromptu playdates. We had an activity this evening so it\u2019s fine if it\u2019s planned in advance and they have everything they need in the morning and they can go with a friend but otherwise only on free evenings. I\u2019ve spent 6 months enforcing this rule after we went a bit playdate silly and I really don\u2019t want it broken now.<\/p>\n The first benefit of having a nanny has become clear! Dinner is all prepared and just needs to be reheated and the shepherd\u2019s pie was huge enough for all the family. I asked if it was okay if we ate some too and she seemed a bit embarrassed but said we could. I don\u2019t know what she was embarrassed about because it was great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you want to catch up on the happenings of Day 1 of our real life nanny diary which follows a nanny and a mother in the first week of a job just click here Nanny: My legs were killing me this morning and we had even more walking today because theres … Continue reading “The nanny diary: Day 2”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[299,313,373,443],"class_list":["post-912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nannies","tag-nanny","tag-nanny-job","tag-parent","tag-settling-in"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.nannyjob.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/puzzle_puzzle_piece_play_224299-1-300x224.jpg\" "\\"puzzle_puzzle_piece_play_224299\\"")
