Today has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
I worked a 10.5 hour day with a baby attached to my hip who screamed if put down for a second. A 2.5 year old who refused to listen. I had two screaming kids, crying about every and anything. Don’t want to eat, don’t want to nap, don’t want to this, don’t want to that. For 10.5 hours. Okay 9 hours, minus naptime. Dora the Explorer did not even save me.
NOT EVEN DORA.
I walked outside to my finally get in my car and find a parking ticket. A soggy one, no less because of course - it is raining.
Stupid rain.
Stupid street cleaning.
Cranky kids.
Stupid Dora.
I think I’ll move to Australia.
I’ve been browsing online for some opportunities. I’m really thinking I am going to go the PR/Marketing route in school. So I figure, hey, why not check out some new job or interning opportunities.
The thing is - I don’t have an office type experience. I’ve only worked in retail and as a nanny in the past. Will this hinder me in my search? I feel like it will. My resume is going to boast all this fantastic childcare experience and I’m going to be looked at as crazy. Why is this girl looking to be a marketing intern or whatever I am applying for? If I have to suck it up a few days a week with an unpaid internship, I will. I need something to get some sort of experience.
Now how do I get them to take me seriously?
Anyone with any experience with this sort of thing or anyone can help me bang out an amazing cover letter and resume. Email me. I’d love you forever. Seriously.
I need help.
As a nanny, I’ve come to the not so fun part of my job. TWO. The Terrible Twos are in full effect in two houses I work in. In one corner, we have TWIN two year old boys and a 3 year old. In the other corner, we have a newly 2 year old and a newborn baby. Could you imagine the fun stuff that would happen if they were all let lose in one place?!
Seriously.
I love them all but…seriously. Nanny might be the one who needs a time out soon. 5 minutes alone!
