From Brynn
Aside from my parents undergoing a tumultuous divorce, I have also been divorced, and most importantly, I have worked for many families of divorce. As a former professional nanny and household manager of over twenty years, I have seen first hand the effects of divorce on children and their families. By offering consistent, reliable care, I was able to assist children through the ups and downs of navigating their new normal while also contributing a neutral mindset for both households. A resounding myth I hear is that nannies are only for the rich. In truth, nannies are the missing piece many parents are looking for to facilitate positive, loving changes in both households. From assisting gatekeeping parents who are struggling with fear and anxiety over how their children are cared for, to fostering healthy and happy co-parenting relationships, I have witnessed it all. My mission in life is to continue my efforts to ensure children are given the levels of care they deserve. After all, kids should be having fun, not acting out or struggling to survive between households.
