Nanny Diaries

I have an amazing husband. He rented the Nanny Diaries for me and watched it with me last night even though it is considered "a girl movie." It was such a cute movie and came at such an ironic time. Now, I cannot relate to the character through most of the movie because I've really only worked for pretty amazing people when I babysit kids, but the first 20 minutes of the movie was a complete depiction of what my life is right now. Scarlett Johansson plays the nanny and at the beginning of the movie she graduates from college, tries to figure out what she really wants to do with her life, and ends up literally running into a woman who needs a new nanny for her son. All of the sudden, every mom in the park is all over Scarlett giving her their cards and offering her jobs to watch her kids. None of them even care if she's worked with kids or has any references.

That whole scene has totally been my life the past two weeks. All of the sudden every mom I meet is hiring me to babysit their kids or recommending me to others to babysit their children or giving me office work to do. I kind of explained it all in my last entry, so I won't go over it again. I do want to mention again, though, that any part of the movie after the scene I described has nothing to do with my babysitting experiences because all the moms I've babysat for have been very good moms who care very much about their children.
