Beyond a boss

Last week on Thursday was National Boss’ Day and I have been reflecting on some of the incredible Bosses/Clients I have had in my 12+ years as a professional nanny & household manager.  Some of these women are powerful women in their fields. Some have husbands that are pro-athletes,  country singers, or famous actors.  Some […]

A month of awareness and rememberance

This month gets a lot of attention for being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but it is also Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.  The first doesn’t directly apply to me, some friends of mine, yes, but not me.  The second one does, twice over.  I lost a brother to SIDS when I was 1.5 years […]
