I loved being able to work with a child. She was 18 months old and being able to watch her grow and develop in the short amount of time was amazing and helped me to know that I want to go into occupational therapy.
What I wish was different
I wish I could’ve stayed longer or started earlier!
Advice
Always have activities to help the child grow and learn more.

Live-in nanny
August 2017 • Park City, UT
What I liked
I learned so many "life skills" in this job. It has made the transition to college not only manageable, but easy.
What I wish was different
My schedule was never set. I was required to be very flexible with my hours and the days that I worked, which were unpredictable.
Advice
Park City is an excellent place to nanny, just be aware that there are a plethora of options and super competitive wages. Don't be afraid to explore options before committing to a job!
