So, I was going to make this a sappy post about how much I love kids and how their innocence and creativeness have changed me as a person. However, I am currently on vacation, having a blast with my adorable nephews, and they have kind of inspired me to write about the humorous side of being a nanny. So I've added some GIFs.

1. You have real-life birth control.*

And then just when you want one...

*Not 100% effective

2. You've given up on trying to explain they're not your kids when you go out.

"Isn't she the sweetest! You must be so proud."

3. You will do pretty much anything with your kids to entertain them even just for a second.

4. Baby wipes become the most glorious invention man ever created.

5. You feel the need to correct every person who assumes that you are "basically just a babysitter."

6. You learn to accept the honest truth from a small human with no filter.

7. Everything is dirty...all the time. Most of the time you don't even know what it is.

8. Figuring out how to sneak vegetables into their diet is an art you have now mastered.

9. But once in a while, when they notice, you use the power of sugar to bribe them into taking "at least 5 big bites."

10. You occasionally get into battles over wearing clean underwear and socially acceptable outfits.

11. Most the time you give in and decided to let them express their individuality.

12. But no matter what they wear or how many messes they make, you love your job more than you ever thought you could.

13. And you have probably gotten attached more than you should openly admit. Leaving is like the scene from "The Help." *cue the tears*
