The first time I heard the amount of money nannies make in a week, especially in the city, was eye-opening! I had to immediately get into that field. My friend makes about 1,500 dollars a week, it’s crazy! When she told me that, I went right to a job board finding nanny positions. I’ve been nannying for a family for about a week now and it’s not too bad. It’s a lot of work and responsibility. For example, the house that I was nannying at their air conditioning system just stopped working. I went to the thermostat and switched the unit on and then off and then back on again. I still could not hear the air conditioning system turn back on. This issue was more than just switching the unit on and off. I took matters into my own hands and called a local heating and cooling system. My boss was going to be out of town with no access to phones for another three days. There was no way that the kids or myself would remotely be comfortable in this heat. Thankfully the heating and cooling technician came that day and was able to fix it within thirty minutes. The HVAC technician took the thermostat off the wall, made a few changes and switched out the control unit. I asked the heating and cooling technician if I could have the receipt so I could show my bus what the expense was for. I was able to get a receipt and then we were back to having air conditioning in the house.
