After doing some writing I think I like the topic of working as a nanny, but not just that i’m thinking of tieing it in with the responsibilites of the children, the job itself, and then my life in general. I think it would be cool to kind of show the two sides of myself, me as a nanny, and me as an overall person (student, girlfriend, daughter, etc.) I do however want to go in depth with being a nanny and the overall dependency the chidlren and parents have on me. I think people would want to hear about the job in itself due to the fact that nannies do sometimes either have the “Mary Poppins” reputation, or they have the “Mean Nanny” like the on the tv show kind of deal.

I find this topic interesting because it’s a passion of mine. Working with children, and allowing time for everything else, it amazes me how i juggle it all sometimes.

I narrowed it down to this topic because children are a big part of my life and the passion to kind of teach children, and to take care of them is something very important to me. I do however want to address how it’s not all easy at times, and between struggling a 40 hour a week job, and school, and all the other things going on, I want it to be made clear of what responsibilites I have and how i deal with them. It’s important to me to do this topic too because the irony of it all is that i thought I would fail as a nanny and that when I took the job I really didn’t want to work with children at all. At this same time I was thinking about changing my major too. By working with children it made me realize who I am as a person, and what I want to do with my life.

Things that i’m thinking about my topic is that it might be dull. However I do think that it’s something that a lot of girls my age have to deal with. Maybe not with being a nanny, but overcoming challenges, and realizing who you really are. I’m also not sure if I really have any good ideas at all?!? I do wonder too how I would go about making a film on this, and what would make it interesting. In real life it is pretty interesting, considering children are full of suprises and i’m on-call all the time. Take tonight for example, it’s 10:40 and i’m still at work. I’m fulfilling my job as Nanny, but i’m also taking care of school work. It’s chaotic, possibly interesting though?

As an outsider I would want to tell someone the struggles of being a Nanny. I would want to share with how much you come to care for the children but yet you don’t want to cross any boudaries at times. I would also want to share some of the moments that are just amazing, like when a child opens up to you and shares things with you that noone else knows. I would want to tell how amazing it is to work with children in general and that they are the most funniest creatures alive! I would however like them to see that being a 21 year old girl that it’s not that easy to take on a full time nanny position like I do.

I’m not sure if i’m even going in the right direction. Any suggestions, or comments would be great! Thanks!
