Listen "Paging Mary Poppins: How to Find (and keep!) the Right Nanny for Your Family "
Episode Synopsis
Hiring a nanny sounds simple—until you realize you’re basically trying to find a magical Mary Poppins who can keep your kids alive and make healthy snacks and not judge the state of your laundry room and somehow feel like part of the family without actually being family. No pressure, right?Enter the magnificent Sarah Davis, founder of Olive You Nanny. On this week’s Good Enough Parenting episode, I sat down with Sarah to talk about the art (and heart) of finding the right caregiver for your family. She’s been in the childcare world for over 25 years and has helped thousands of parents not only find the right person for their family but also figure out what makes a nanny-family relationship actually work.We got into all of it—the interviews, the red flags, the tricky “we adore you but also you work for us” dynamic, and how to set up boundaries that keep everyone feeling respected (and sane).We even explore why having other caregivers for our kids’ lives isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s actually a huge step toward gender equality and sanity for moms.Bonus Gift! Sarah has created The Nanny Playbook, a step-by-step guide that helps families find and build lasting, healthy relationships with their nannies.
