Five years as a nanny — what I've learned about child development 👶

Children need consistency, boundaries, and to feel genuinely seen. The families I've worked with longest are the ones where we've been aligned on these three things. Childcare isn't babysitting. It's active participation in a child's development. I take that seriously.

The point about building trust before selling is something more people need to hear.

This is great advice. I'd also say: document everything. Contracts, scope, timelines.

Brilliant tip. I'd add that consistency beats perfection every single time.
