Hi everyone! Happy September!

It’s Laura back with my next video where I share my personal checklist that I use with our nanny for when the school year starts.

The start of the school year can be a stressful time for parents. Shopping for new clothes, getting the kids back on their school bedtime schedule, and figuring out drop-off/pickup times can be a real pain!

Don’t forget that back to school can mean changes for your nanny as well.

Check out this video where I discuss my seven checklist items that I go over with my nanny when the school year kicks off.

Scroll down to check out the video and I hope you find it helpful!

 

Most kids are back to school now (did you hear the collective high fives from parents all around you?!) and despite the best laid plans, things don’t always play out the way you had envisioned.

My oldest started out middle school this year by forgetting his lunch, and having his school bus run an hour late. We drove him to school and then had to drive back to school again to bring his lunch to the office. His lunch never connected with him – thankfully, I made him stash some emergency cash in his backpack which he used to buy his meal!

This part was not necessarily funny (though I am chuckling about it today), but it was funny when my husband came downstairs to find him fully dressed, even with coat, backpack and shoes on A FULL HOUR EARLY, just staring at the wall contemplating his first day of middle school 🙂
