A lot of college girls get the opportunity to have the most fun, but most frustrating summer job there is: nannying.
You get to hangout with kids all day every day, you feed them, play with them, take them to swim lessons, but at the end of the day you get to leave and make the parents bathe them and put them to bed. Part time parenting... AKA nannying. Here are 9 signs you were a nanny this summer.
1. You don't swear much, or at all anymore.
You used to have such a bad potty mouth, being a college kid and all, but spending everyday of your summer with kids has changed that super fast.
2. You use the "because I said so" reason for almost everything now.
When kids ask you if they can play on your phone, and you say no because you want to keep snapchatting your friends or you don't want them to see your groupchat with your best friends titled "best bitches."
3. You get called "mom" like once a day.
4. You have learned a lot of patience skills because kids cry all the time for the dumbest reasons.
Whether it's because they can't find their Elsa doll, or because they have to poop but don't want to, they cry all the time. Sometimes you feel bad and try to make them feel better, but other times you just tell them to go cry in their room until they are done.
5. You carry band-aids in your purse because your kids are always running into things or falling down.
6. You know exactly which songs are appropriate and which ones are not when you are in the car.
7. You get complimented all the time on weird things.
"You are just a natural at tying bathing suits." "You are so good at holding my bike so I don't fall off."
8. You call them your kids when you refer to them.
"I'm pushing my baby in the swing" "That isn't your baby" "pretty much.."
9. You are dreading your last day with them because you know how much you are going to cry and how much they are going to cry.
