A moment of nanny bragging (well, not really):
I bought each of my regular kids (Patrick, Lilly, Timothy, Tessa, Seth, Isabella, and two others) a small ornament for Christmas, and I just wrote out Christmas cards to their parents. V and I actually just did a bunch of cards. We both feel grown-up at the moment, but in a good, not stressful, way. And I feel on top of my little nanny world. I have regular families; I'm writing them notes; I know their kids birthdays and allergies and homework schedules.
V and I have been talking about getting business cards. I've been thinking of doing it for awhile, just because I'm tired of writing down my name, number, and email for moms I meet. Since I give out her info on a night I'm busy, and vice versa, we figured we'd just do cards with both sets of contact information. Of course, then we need a "business name" to put on the card, and that's where we're stuck.
I feel like this little business is actually going somewhere. Sure, it's just nannying, but a few word-of-mouth referrals and some high praise has gone to my head. Next thing you know, I'll be pressing business cards into everyone's hands.
The business cards are a GREAT idea!!! Might I suggest that, before you try making a business out of the two of you, you talk to someone like my dad about how that would affect what you give to the government.
ReplyDeleteI just did Christmas cards too. I didn't buy enough cards though, so it's back to icky Wal-Mart for me.
Hmm... A friend of mine has business cards that just say "[daughter's name] mom," which I thought was cute. We wouldn't do anything too formal. Just an easier way to give out info! Do you think that would still affect anything?
ReplyDeleteEw. I don't like that place.
