Family Assistant, Mommy Assistant & More
Never ending to-do lists. Make school lunches. Buy snacks for baseball team. Volunteer at school. Carpool. Run errands. Balance working from home. Closets overflowing with stuff. Papers everywhere. Family needs a haircut. Dog needs shots. Car needs repairs.
I wake up at 5 am and drag myself out of bed and head downstairs to the coffee maker. I wake up early because I know that today will be different and better than yesterday. I give myself a big pat on the back because I will finally get ahead of my to-do list; However, the baby wakes up earlier than expected and wants to be fed, my oldest son forgot that he had a project due at school today, my toddler wet his bed again (changing sheets now), my husband can’t find his important files because our daughter colored on them, and the dog ate a piece of my sandal. I look around at the chaos of my home and start to fall apart because I don’t feel qualified to help run my own home and feel guilty for even considering hiring help. Does this sound familiar? Georgia’s Dream Nannies understands that every family may not need a Nanny (childcare provider), but they may need assistance with their own personal daily tasks.
