I don’t know about you, but this pandemic has been long, hard, and straining on the mental health of the NannyCast team. We have chosen to take Thanksgiving (yes, we’re American) to try to improve our mental health using gratitude. Here’s a GuestCast that taught us and can teach you.

In the Newborn Care Solutions’s Real Talk Education on 19 April 2020, Hope Schachter recommended connecting with nanny community using online Facebook groups. DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Don’t do that before you listen to our episode on the difference between networks and communities. Make sure you seek community where community is.

We know that with a pandemic in the mix, nannies are currently working jobs that are tremendously more difficult than what they signed up for. Hopefully you can find some relief in our episode on Nanny Burnout.
While we advocate for having a vent session in person with a community nanny, due to social distancing that makes it harder, but not impossible, to find an online community. Listen to our episode on Networks vs Communities for the key steps to find an online community so you can find a sympathetic ear to vent to.
In addition, Newborn Care Solutions hosted a trauma therapist to talk about coping through this pandemic. CLICK HERE to view the video on that topic. And CLICK HERE to view the NannyCast press release on the topic of the Nanny Relief Fund.
