Excellent video. Thank you. I also include a mini nail clipper as I have found that sometimes I’ll break a nail and it’s uneven or it leaves a pointy corner so a nail filer or a mini nail clipper are very handy.
I always carry a pouch with first aid items plus: organic wipes (For cleaning kids up in case of an unexpected fall/ nose bleed), one or two items for a period (even if it might not be for me but other nanny/friend in need), medicine (ibuprofen, paracetamol and diarrhoea tablets in case of emergencies), spare face mask, sanitiser, hair tie and hair clips, tissues, a wipe and cloth for cleaning my glasses, little pot of homemade cream based on shea and cacao butters which is great for lips or dry hands. And a very light raincoat or umbrella. I also store a full set of clothes, shoes and spare raincoat at work but then I live in London :-)
1.) Extra clothes 2.) Travel size Clorox wipes 3.) Hair Tie/Mini Travel Brush 4.) Deodorant 5.) Chapstick 6.) Travel tooth brush Those are my must haves Love this video! Thank you for the advice!
this is so absolutely amazing. I’ve been following your channel for about a month now since I decided to become self-employed and create value for others instead of begging for a job through a résumé. And I was just thinking about self-care today and this is the perfect video for me to be watching right now and I absolutely love that you’re Canadian like me!! ❤❤❤❤ I also love that you talked about SAJE! I was just there with my girls when they were here with a visit it reminded me I need to go back and buy their little $30 self-care kit.
Thanks michille. It's a good idea or tips to know. What inside the bag I do appreciate your video very much helpful in two weeks time.. I will take care a twin.. my boss will have their holiday here in the Philippines.. it's my first time. So thank you so much for your video ♥️🥰👍👌
I always had a change of of clothes in my car in my years I was a nanny. By the way Michelle you look very young to me I am guessing you’re in your early 50s.
This is great! I can relate to the "self-care" when looking after others. I took care of my Step-dad for 10 yrs with Alzheimers. Btw, I could never leave half a bar of any snack! Once that wrapper is open, it's gone!
thank you so much for this tips>>>i am always packing their stuffs>>>and take a phone for myself only, i even forget my water because i am usually mostly nearby the house, i dont go too far but still i will busy the tiny first kit for myself even though my nanny family hasnt provided foe me
I just love your videos and tips I wanna be in Canada just to be in your agency ... I just missed Rosary because we can prey in the moments off when kids are sleeping or in the bus and of course holy water we can’t do anything without the bless of the Lord ... our lady prey for us 🙏🏻 I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷 and I love your channel
I just find out your channel few days ago .I really appreciate everything you share here . Thank you so much .What part of Canada are you .I have my niece and her family in Quebec . Thank You.❤️
I'm a nanny for my best friend, so my situation is a little different this job vs past jobs. Last week, on day 3 of naked butt potty training, I got peed on when she sat on my lap after a small fall/crying. 🤦🏼 It's great being at my bff's house because I can borrow her clothes. 😂
This bag is for your personal items so it might be a bit weird. But making a nanny bag that is filled with items for the children and the nanny would be great.
Oooh. My Nanny Bag that Michelle Doesn't have: Snack for Kid hidden away (in case I forget theirs) Extra socks Masks (COVID is weird) Medical Release Form for the Kiddos in case of emergency and I have to take them to hospital Small plastic baggie and Water wipes (tied in a knot so Littles don't suffocate themselves) -This bag is a Poop bag in case a Little need to poop out somewhere there is no toilet. I have had to use it on occasion. -Ooh, I should get an extra charger Book on tape! -yes! I'm a 90s Kid and understand what you mean! Hahaha.
Those are great ideas. This bag was specifically for the nanny and not the needs of the kids but the needs of a nanny during the day. But everything you suggested should go with you as well.
Hi there! I LOVE these videos, they are extremely helpful for nannies as I am one and do not have an extensive amount of experience. Can the Nanny Solution please make a video regarding appropriate dress wear while working as nanny? This is something I wonder about and try researching about all the time. It's something many new nannies find themselves asking as well I observed. It would be so nice if there was just a uniform for nannies. I've been so confused as to what I can wear that's comfortable while working with infants and children but still professional. Can nannies where leggings if the bum is covered by a long shirt? What's the best thing to wear when working with infants/older children? Do parents care? I love wearing leggings because they provide so much mobile flexibility when moving all over the place and being on the ground with babies but I know it may not be the most professional looking right? So far I've come to the conclusion that a dark pair of jeans or jeggings is a good start paired with a dark long sleeve athletic shirt but I would LOVE more advice and input so I can feel at ease with what I'm wearing as a nanny and not have to think about it. Thank you for your wonderful videos! Please help! :)
Thank you for the video idea. It is a great topic. It sounds like what you are wearing is appropriate. It will depend on the family and their expectations as well. Are they a casual family or a more formal family? It is hot where you work or is the temperature cool most of the year? Keep an eye out. I will work on the video for August!
@@TheNannySolution How exciting! I will look forward to the video. The family is very laidback I feel and casual when it comes to dress. I just want to come off as professional while still being comfortable taking care of a baby and young children.
I'm a nanny with over a decade of experience. Having a nanny bag is essential for me. I usually have a large two section backpack I use. It has enough space to include my items and when going out the childrens items fit. A must for me is a spare change of clothes with underwater and socks. A travel size set of toiletries a nail grooming kit hair brush and extra hair ties and clips . I try to always have hand sanitizer, wet wipes and tissues in the main compartment. Extra water to share incase we runout of our own. Phone charger, a note book, flash light, and my wallet. When going out I try to remember to carry a small towel, the full size towels are in my car trunk. Also carry some grocery store bags to help with any trash or carrying out random items or soiled clothing. I also try to pack healthy snacks too. I have scent sensitivities and try to only use all natural products so in a quickly accessible pocket I have a trave size liquid soap and lotion. I always think about having a bag where if an emergency happened and I needed to be staying overnight I had the essentials with out having to ask to borrow things or take a trip to the local shop. You have to think about carrying the most essential things in the bag and leaving some in the car. In my car I have multiple bandaids, scissors, disposable food utensils and bowls, wet wipes, paper towels, extra clothes and shoes for me and one set for my nanny child and picnic blankets and a lantern. You can't have it all but as long as you have some basic things you will be alright. We do what feels best for us and use our nanny gut instinct.
A liter is about 30 ounces. Some things I've carried you didn't name off were travel connect 4 and a jump rope. BTW, I call that a purse or backpack, not a nanny bag....
We have had a couple of families who are plant based or vegan. They did not specifically request a vegan nanny but they said nannies would need to understand and not bring anything into their home.
@@TheNannySolution That would be so cool if I could find an amazing family who were also plant based vegan, that would be my dream job with a cherry on top! Lol. I still love all my nanny families, but I’m just saying 😊. I’ve been a nanny for over 26 years, and WFPB vegan for 5 years, and can definitely say that I have way more energy now to keep up with the little ones than when I was young :). I love your videos, they are very informative, keep up the excellent work, thank you!
Hand sanitizer! omg, no. What you put on your body goes IN your body. So, I suggest, that every time you use a hand sanitizer that you squirt just a titch into your mouth and swallow because that is what you are doing every time you use it. I would NEVER put this onto a child. In fact, my nephews when they were in grade school and in the “sanitizer” line before lunch asked that they go to the bathroom to wash their hands because “their mom doesn’t want that put onto their hands daily.”. This one item is the cause of autoimmune disease eventually over time.

Yay for plant based! ❤
Absolutely! Plant-based living is such a positive choice for our health and the planet.
Excellent video. Thank you.

You have a few things that were not in my bag that are great ideas. Raincoat and umbrella are a must depending on where you live!
I love this channel, watching here in Saude Arabia but I came from philippines
1.) Extra clothes
2.) Travel size Clorox wipes
3.) Hair Tie/Mini Travel Brush
4.) Deodorant
5.) Chapstick
6.) Travel tooth brush
Those are my must haves
Love this video! Thank you for the advice!
Thanks for sharing!!
Love the first aid kit. Definitely going to check that out!
It has been very useful.

I’m glad to hear you are taking care of yourself. You can not take care of others if you are not taking care of yourself.
I am a Kenyan working as a nanny in Saudi Arabia ...same here when we are going out I carry those personal items too
It is good to be prepared!😀
Thanks michille. It's a good idea or tips to know. What inside the bag I do appreciate your video very much helpful in two weeks time.. I will take care a twin.. my boss will have their holiday here in the Philippines.. it's my first time. So thank you so much for your video ♥️🥰👍👌
You are welcome!
I always had a change of of clothes in my car in my years I was a nanny. By the way Michelle you look very young to me I am guessing you’re in your early 50s.
Thank you! 💕
Thanks for the tips. I never thought of change of clothes. Will add that to my list.
It’s good to be prepared 👍
Great videos!! Some good ideas to add to my bag
Glad it was helpful!
This is great! I can relate to the "self-care" when looking after others. I took care of my Step-dad for 10 yrs with Alzheimers. Btw, I could never leave half a bar of any snack! Once that wrapper is open, it's gone!
If it was a chocolate bar and not a protein bar the whole thing would be gone for sure!
I have books and coloring book for the kids extra clothes even the kids I taking care are big but still I bring extra clothes for..
Great idea! 💕
Awesome advices! I have adopted some of them but it's time to add more. Thank you. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, same here.
👍
thank you so much for this tips>>>i am always packing their stuffs>>>and take a phone for myself only, i even forget my water because i am usually mostly nearby the house, i dont go too far but still i will busy the tiny first kit for myself even though my nanny family hasnt provided foe me
Great!
I carry all those items in my back ❤
Amazing!

I am in BC.

We hope you continue to have a great experience working for your friend. We know that can be challenging.
I love these videos! I also bring a mini deodorant and body spray for some of those active days!
Love that!
I'm always watch your Vedios 🥰
Thank you so much 😀
We're about to hire a nanny. Would it be weird if we made up a bag like this for her?
This bag is for your personal items so it might be a bit weird. But making a nanny bag that is filled with items for the children and the nanny would be great.
Never packed spare clothes...will add that to my bag now🤣🤣
Glad we could help add to your bag.

Change of clothes, slippers, sweater, xtra contacts and travel toothbrush floss and toothpaste to refresh in the afternoon. Wipes.
Great list!

Fingernail kit to keep nails filed & clean
Great tip!
A spare phone charger! Would hate to he standed or without communication 👍🏾
Agreed! It is the worst being stranded with a dead battery.
A thermometer just in case they get sick
Thanks for sharing.

You're plant based vegan?! I knew I liked you. ;) Do you ever find the need for vegan nannies?
We have had a couple of families who are plant based or vegan. They did not specifically request a vegan nanny but they said nannies would need to understand and not bring anything into their home.
