Happy New Year! Welcome back! This week we're going to be chatting with Dr. Colleen Russo Johnson about how to help parents manage stress as a nanny. We speak specifically about Covid, but also about how to help as we move back into a less distanced life. As nannies, we work as part of the family's team and Dr. Colleen has so many good ideas for how to do that!
It takes so much courage to stand up for yourself, especially when your job is on the line. In nannying, we work so closely with families that sometimes boundaries feel less clear than in other jobs. Pascale Brady is back to talk us through ways to handle potential power struggles with parents. This episode is also great for working to prevent future problems by addressing them before they grow!
Transitions from parent to nanny and then back again are some of the trickiest times of day! Leah Frires is back to talk us through transition times and how to make beginning and end of day smoother for all parties involved!
This week's episode comes to you by request! A wonderful listener asked us to cover micromanaging parents and boy did Brittany Vogel deliver! Always a wonderful guest, Brittany has some wonderful ideas about how to make it work when it comes to dealing with micromanaging parents and when to walk away! If you have ever felt put under a microscope as a nanny, this episode is for you!
