I don’t know a single nanny who hasn’t been asked at some point what their “backup plan” is.
Sometimes it’s said casually, sometimes it’s said with concern, but either way it kind of sticks with you. Like you’re doing something that’s fine for now, but not something you’re supposed to build your life around.
And if you hear that enough times, you start to believe it a little bit.
What I didn’t realize at the time is that nannying only feels temporary when you’re not shown what growth actually looks like in this industry. If all you see are similar roles, similar pay, similar expectations, of course it feels limited.
But there is another level to this: I’ve built a six-figure career as a nanny, and it didn’t come from luck, it came from understanding how to position myself, how to choose the right families, and how to develop skills that are actually valued at a higher level.
That’s what I teach inside my Nanny Academy, because this work can absolutely be long-term if you approach it differently.
If you’re tired of feeling like you need a “backup plan”:
• learn how to position yourself better
• understand where the higher-paying roles actually are
• start thinking long-term in this field
