OUR FIRST DAY WITH A NANNY : Traveling Full-time w/9 kids

The nanny for our 9 children arrived and we don't really know what we are doing or what to have her do. We head out for a day at the NY Metropolitan Museum and bring her along to help. Will we be too much for her? Is being a nanny to 9 kids the hardest job on earth? Come along and find out!

I'm surprised of all the comments about people feeling bad for Sarah.They have given her an amazing opportunity to travel the world, explore new places and get paid on top of it. I would totally do that for free!She's lucky in my opinion!

[@lynettecasaretto4173]

I'm sure they will work out a schedule for on/off time etc. But it's a job! She is getting paid by money & opportunity. I'm sure they will take great care of her!

[@ninnaaaaaaaaaa]

This is exactly what I was thinking!

[@drxl34]

I've only seen comments about how lucky she is not that they feel bad for her! I wish I had her job! lol

[@suewilliams3227]

April Fina me m no cñ no

[@RobFos]

I think people feel this way because they hate seeing kids suffering in any way shape or form and going through what she is going through with her body, because they are kids..... its awesome that she was adopted and has a great family that has shown her many beautiful places she will never forget. :) Sarah is blessed thats for sure :) It shows that she is well cared for and loved.

[@Snow.1001]

I'm sure this family will make Sarah feel a part of the family, we see 10 min. Of the day and in that they are still explaining to us who Sarah is. " The Nanny " Let's be kind and not judge.

[@potatoO0o]

Be prepared for stares in Europe. Large families are very rare here, especially the kind with so many adopted kids. Also, Germans are natural starers. They stare no matter what.

[@amrinderatwal1563]

Pootin For some reason I find Germans are natural starers and you profile pic is funny as well

[@drxl34]

lol yup. Be prepared that they will ask questions like "why on earth do you have that many children?" and "why didn't you adopt children that look like you?" I'm adopting from Bulgaria and they are so racist there no one wanted to adopt my son because he's of Roma descent. But.. he's white.. and looks like pretty much all other Bulgarians lol.

[@teamcougars]

Pootin large families and large cars are not the norm in Europe! Be prepared to have trouble finding a parking space too and super narrow streets.

[@crankloft8167]

that is SO false. I don't know in what forgotten village you live, or what kinda people you attract, but in Europe in general, people are open-minded and will respect them for what they're doing. Germans are cool, generalization and stereotypes are gross. Pootin why would you freak them out like that, they probably have so many things to think about now, you don't wanna add another reason to be stressed there. They're gonna have an AMAZING time in Europe! love love

[@crankloft8167]

Europe doesn't want you anyways, stay in your boring country! xo

[@boigimmeareason]

swear you guys have the best songs in your vlogs😌🎶

[@irispostema]

I was looking for this comment, because if I wouldd't find it, I would write it. Totally agree!

[@Daisy-er5jj]

Why would anyone dislike this incredible family. Just why !🤷‍♀️

[@loucee222]

Very unhappy people, no good life maybe.

[@deed421]

I think people hit dislike just o be mean

[@bearybee5517]

My mom was a nanny a few times.one group of kids she nannied had horses she tells stories about how all of the horses in the pens would always escape. The stories are so funny

[@bunnycyber]

Watching these vlogs since the beginning, its WEIRD BUT GOOD to see how much your kids have grown up!

[@eibhydwelley6236]

I love u guys and hope the best with Sarah and your crazy adventures. I also wanted to mention that I work with kids taht have disabilities and watching eve helps me understand how they communicate, navigate, and concur life without thinking that are different. Thank you for taking me in this adventure with you.

[@fernandahubert5431]

Oh boy! I'm sure Sarah will grow so much from this experience, cuz right now it just looks like she is one of the kids, but soon enough she'll find her place and I'm sure she'll be a great help.. Sarah, hang in there!! be strong and don't forget that communication is the best tool whenever you have any issues. I'm rooting for you all

[@lndsyvghnbubert]

Fernanda Hubert, well said! It has to be odd for the three adults just starting out. Hopefully they find a good rhythm soon =)

[@brigittewilliams2038]

How are y'all so patient with your kids! I've never seen you guys ever get mad or yell at them. Also love watching the adventures y'all go on

[@ZacAndersonofficial]

Jude is so cute!

[@vanillamakanda4197]

You look cute in you're picture 🙂

[@caitlinparry6692]

You guys should go to Strawberry fields in Central Park- there's a guy there that will play any Beatles songs you want, e.g. Hey Jude 😂😅😝😍

[@brendabardell-resch6869]

[@shaynepope2106]

I was watching your old videos, when I got the notification. I definitely love your new videos, there's such a difference in how comfortable and real you guys are now vs. a year ago. I love it and you guys

[@morf9973]

Sarah will find her place! She's bright and interested in the children. Mike and Megan seem so glad to have her. It's all the transition that they are getting use to. I see her as a great fit for the family and will be comfortable as time goes on. She's needed due to all the different ages. She may not get to see things that Mike and Megan get to go to but she's not there necessarily for the vacation but to help out the family. Just give it time!!!!

[@caitlyncoxe9466]

You guys are constantly looking at life in such a positive way and I love that because not many people do that anymore... It is much needed in this world! xxxxx

[@joannapinonez1165]

love Sarah's smile! glad to see you all doing good as always! Love you!🤗

[@rayrayrayrayray79]

Daniel has such a kind soul, I smile when I see him. The entire family makes me smile!

[@brielynn]

You really lucked out. It's usually so much warmer in NY this time of year... make sure to give Sarah time off. I worked as a Nanny in college, and I was working almost 7 days a week with my school, then the kids school, activities, play dates, etc. it can be overwhelming. And my favorite thing to do on my time off was to just curl up in bed with my journal or a book. Have you been to Madame Tussaud's? That is definitely a fun trip. Plus the Bronx Zoo has the new treetop adventure!

[@nick2678]

brielynn In a different comment, the knorpps actually said that she gets 3 days off a week to explore what she wants in the area. Hope this answered your question :)

[@Leahjade33]

I think it's great you've brought Sarah on board. It's a wonderful opportunity for her and if it helps both the kids and you there's nothing to lose. Excited to see what's next for you all!

[@Alyy_Cat]

Welcome, Sarah. From one nanny to another. It's the most rewarding, frustrating, crazy thing you'll ever do, and you'll love it.

[@janettesparrow9008]

It's the first day with Sarah as the nanny. Give them some time to bond with her and work out all their roles with her...and her with them. 😍😍

[@sarahgrubbs8352]

Welcome Sarah!!!

[@mimiwilliams7281]

The video soundtrack is ALWAYS amazing. Love it.

[@mshockey73]

Sarah seems like such a good fit for your family:)) I have to agree with you about museum gift shops. When we visit the Art Institute in Chicago the gift shop is always on our list of stops. Happy Monday Knorpp Family!!

[@joycebryson3665]

Love to you all and welcome Sarah looking forward to hearing all about yourself

[@georginadrake4050]

Well done Sarah! Looks like you're settling into your new position wonderfully & the kids clearly love you already! I keep seeing a lot of comments about you but none actually to you, so I thought I'd write it myself! I look forward to getting to know you more in the vlogs!

[@georginadrake4050]

(I know that if I were you, I'd be reading the comments so I hope I was right! If not I'm just talking to myself 😂)

[@lenorlevy5169]

If you guys loved the MET, get excited for the Louvre because that museum is just incredible!!!

[@monicaarriaga3271]

You are amazing! I'm an only child, so watching your videos is totally a diferent perspective.

[@djterry1218]

I've never seen so much of New York. Thank you so very much!

[@meaghankehoe3233]

The MET is such an incredible place I absolutely love it there! You need at least the whole day to really experience it!!

[@alicehatfield9238]

I love your family and with you I get to see things that I wouldn't get to otherwise

[@dwatts7811]

I am a travel nanny and love it!

[@LondonisAmazing]

Enjoying this video we were in NYC a week ago miss it already! Loved the Met.

[@frandensmore4280]

always look forward to your videos

[@TheRVlifeFamilyVlogs]

Hope things go well with the new Nanny, she looks like a lovely lady 😊👍🏼

[@elizabethallen3028]

I was there today too. Went to the library and looked for you 😂. Enjoy your stay! ❤️

[@amy13b]

The Egyptian Wing of the Met is one of my clearest childhood memories - the Temple of Dendur at the end, in particular. Loved the glimpse of one of my favorite museums!

[@emberjones387]

Jude is so cute. He just made my day!

[@nanag63]

Love your adventures!

[@alykatstern]

Sarah looks like she have fun!

[@sophiarussell3408]

🙎so exited for the Europe vlogs xxx

[@Avabliss]

I am loving your hair Megan!!

[@sophimonk]

I love that Jude has a Beatles haircut, so cute!

[@clairea-t7045]

First thing I'd say to the kids as I walk in the door...EVERYBODY GO WASH YOUR HANDS...!!!

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Margie Claire Leone - me too!

[@ZRobe-xi4hv]

But the subway is so clean! 😂

[@Iheartampersands]

Same here! I also carry Lysol wipes and hand sanitizer in my diaper bag though. #paranoidmuch :)

[@benjinyc]

For those of you who love to try various food options, there is a weekly food market called the Smorgasburg located at the Brooklyn Bridge Park (an amazing park in itself). Food options aren't that expensive & it'll give the kids a chance to expand their gastronomic horizon. You should go in the morning before it gets crazy.

[@hjkahvedjian4628]

i can see sarah being a massive help when school starts. know you home school (and as a homeschooler, i'm all for this), but think it'd be so cool if you could enroll some of the willing older kids in schools in the different countries you'll be visiting. kind of like brief student exchange things.

[@LordUkkepulk]

Thumbs only have two phalanx bones and are not fingers. Fingers have three phalanx bones. Thumbs are digits though. In total humans have 20 digits, 5 for each extremity (hands and feet) and 8 fingers.

[@julesjaed]

Welcome Sarah, I'm sure you don't need to be told that you are working for a wonderful family. I think with your help, Eve' s speech will take off.

[@alicehagan3251]

My son went to school across the street from the Met for 12 years...what opportunities he had! The museum of natural history is right through the park on the other side of town. Just take the 79 bus through the park and get out on west side...fun museum too...wish you guys had a meet up.

[@oleester]

Your governess Sarah seems to be well adjusted. Lovely.

[@joanie-louisesmith2981]

Just to warn you, in England people stare a lot! It's very rare to find large families especially multiethnic ones! Don't be discouraged though, most English are extremely nice and caring! People may also stare at your clothes and the things you do, that's because over here things are very different to in the USA, in the things people wear to the way people act! I can't wait for you to experience our British culture and ways of life.

[@dalevialara]

In Germany too .My family of 5 have got stare a lot

[@user-ld7uj9pv8e]

Awesome museum. Brutal but memorable subway adventure. On a tangent....glimpsed the disembodied blonde near the beginning of the video and was somewhat taken aback....till I realised it was Esther's wig doll. Lol.

[@tracycook5445]

I'm sure you don't get time to read comments but I'm fairly sure I saw my American cousin coming out of the MET trying to get hold of her to check. .absolutely loved your visits today. Alll the way from uk

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Tracy Cook - that's so fun! You'll have to let me know if it was her!

[@SuperSunshinesue]

You guys are awesome

[@angelinarane6414]

YAY!!

[@AnnaRvlogs]

My family had a nanny for my brother at a time when my grandparents were much older and harder for them to be able to help with with their young grandchild at age 1-3. She was not just a nanny to my brother but became a very close family friend. I always see her soemtimes on mothers day new years if she joins us and always on my brother's birthday. What an amazing person to know. I hope she can fit right in and be apart of the family for a long time even after she is no is not working with them any more. The babysitter my brother had reamined friends with our family even after she was not needed any more.

[@vacantvaper2736]

that reindeer was beautiful! i think it was blood too...that subway freaked me out I'd constantly be counting heads lol

[@maymeandyou]

Omg Jude is such a precious little thing :(

[@beckymoran321]

Sarah is like an assistant Mommy, lol. Another set of eyes, another set of hands.... She will be so much help!

[@BirdTheNerrd]

I have been a nanny for the last 4 years. I think i would be hesitant with nine kids. But to be given a big family and the chance to travel too. I would snatch it up in a heartbeat

[@brittanyh9085]

A good majority of you guys don't have any idea what you're talking about. As a professional nanny, I want to be called "the nanny", nothing more, nothing less. A nanny is what she is and I'm sure she's not bothered by being referred to as a nanny- that's her job, it's what she's there to do. Just let them do what they want and let their nanny speak for herself.

[@ginellehughes633]

Brittany H I'm a nanny as well, and seriously I don't know what people have there panties in a knot about😂 like it's a great job! I don't understand some people's comments

[@BirdTheNerrd]

A nanny here too! And i love being called the nanny. I grew up with all the nanny movies and absolutely love it when im called it :)

[@phoebegates2282]

Love your videos

[@ammylover1]

I am a nanny for a family of 3 girls but I only pick them up from school at 2pm and then stay with them till late. I love being a nanny!

[@meaghankehoe3233]

Welcome sarah:)))

[@chloe_alien]

Jude is just the cutest little guy!!!

[@loucee222]

Wonderful museum!,

[@loucee222]

Sarah has the energy and resilience of youth! Win, win!

[@claritakurniawan5026]

[@emmakelley8120]

While yall are in nyc you should take the kids to the Natural History Museum! I loved going as a kid!

[@juliemcneal5742]

You should read up on Central Park. It's amazing.

[@bevyking4748]

I am getting claustrophobic watching you guys all packed in the train... eeek!

[@lipikamitra4521]

Hey.. good to see u all. Welcome Sarah.. I m excited to see her in ur videos from now. But what happend to d camera.. 🙄🤔

[@benjinyc]

i think you guys should check out The Highline (a very cool park made on abandoned rail tracks) and the surrounding Chelsea galleries. You guys can also eat yummy gelattos at the Chelsea Market.

[@nadzirahafiqah7524]

like before even watching it cause i know i will do it at the end of the video 💙💙

NY subways in the summer are rough... Hot and way too many smells lol. You were lucky if the train never got stopped in a tunnel - everyone breathes all of the oxygen. Many times I thought I might lose it 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Heard you on The Catholic Channel SiriusXM 129 the Jennifer Fulwiler show today. Really great interview Megan!

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Midway - thank you! Welcome to the channel!

This is an adjustment period for every one. Just be honest and open and don't let things fester into bigger things.

[@eshire7646]

this has little to do with this video, but I was an au pair in Spain briefly with a family who treated me horribly. It was a very difficult experience, and I'm glad that you are such nice people and will treat Sarah well! There's nothing worse than being thousands of miles away from your home / family, all alone, around people who treat you badly. btw How old is Sarah?

[@kianaquigley3641]

eshire shes almost 20

[@lauraknapps768]

I love watching your family. It is inspiring to see how patient you are with all of your children. On a previous video Isaiah spoke about studying Japanese. Does he use a purchased curriculum or something from the internet? Do use purchase curriculum for any of the kids school work?

[@lgnr1152]

Yay!!! :)

[@Judymontel]

Re: are thumbs fingers question. I argue this all the time with my brothers and children who play the piano (yes, they are!). On the violin (which I play and teach), we count only the 4 fingers... of the left hand! So it depends what tribe you belong to, I guess... :-)

[@robertatonumaipea7675]

hello yall how are the children adjusting to the nanny she seems like she really fits well with u all and she seem like she really likes ur family

[@RobFos]

Rule #1 in train stations - Dont touch ANYTHING.... Rule #2 in train stations - Dont Sit anywhere with open skin, like really short skirts or short jeans, read Rule #1 Rule #3 in train stations - Dont stand near tracks. - lately crazy people have been pushing other people onto tracks, specially when trains are coming. ------- Place kids up against the wall, and tell them not to move, until train has arrived and have come to a complete stop (parents stand next to your kids & be wary of ppl walking next to them). Rule #4 in train stations - Dont talk to strangers, unless its absolutely necessary. Rule #5 in train stations - While riding the train, try not to touch posts or railings and if you must, make sure you have planty of hand sanitizers and immediately use it when exiting the train and walking outside. People wipe their noses and cough into their hands, pick their noses and then touch posts and railings (yuk)..... Place kids on lap and make sure they dont touch anything. at night plenty of homeless people sleep on the train along with urinating, puking and even spilling bodily fluids of many kinds all over within the trains. Rule #6 in trains stations - While riding the train, if you drop something on the floor, DO NOT pick it up. just count it as a loss (unless its a phone or something really expensive). ------ Immediately use clorox wipes and hand sanitizer if you drop something on the floor. if you drop a bib, water bottle, food, a baby's pacifier. just count it as a loss. and move on.. ------ Dont let kids touch or sit on the floor. Thats a HUGE No No in NYC. - Always always always have clorox handy wipes and hand sanitizer within your bag with every person. If you are not sure of any rules, Re-Read rule #1.

Oh yeah those trains can be a nightmare. Try to plan days when temps are in the 90s to not include train travel. The tunnels are ovens and inhumane! 😅

[@meaghankehoe3233]

[@ppod1349]

I think you also attract attention because you're vlogging. I haven't ever see anyone walking along filming a vlog here in the north west of Britain. So I don't think it's just the size of your family 🙂
