As a nanny myself for b/g twin infants with a preschool aged sibling, i cannot express enough the need to find the right fit/connection with a family and the children. I've been with this family for just about the whole first year of the babies life and both me and the parents cannot imagine life without each other in it, and that's what makes this job for me. So glad you found the perfect fit. 🥰

[@stephaniemarvon8058]

Yes!! I’ve been with my nanny family for going on 8 years. It’s so amazing and at this point we don’t even have to communicate about 80% of the day/plans.

[@lumday1063]

@jn4756 I've had wrong fits before. On both sides. I've talked about families and why the match didn't work to others and I'm sure the families have done the same. She didn't say anything bad or degrading about her. In fact, she made sure multiple times to speak highly upon her. She didn't use names or anything, so no, as a professional career nanny, I found her description to be perfectly fine and understandable.

[@lumday1063]

@skarbiewell4003 Colleen mentioned multiple times that the nanny didn't do anything wrong. She was describing why it wasn't a good fit. I personally don't see anything wrong with it, as a career nanny myself. I've had jobs not work out on both ends before and can be empathetic towards both sides. Colleen mentioned she was desperate to get Flynn to like her, not that she was desperate for the job.

She exploits her children for money. They have no idea about the millions of people watching them. Her children did NOT consent to that! Its the Truman Show!

[@georgiarw]

I think you did the right think trying to get Flynn used to the babysitter. It's okay that it didn't work out in the end but it's good to teach him to give everybody a chance and not put too much weight on first impressions. And also a good opportunity to learn to be civil and work with people you don't necessarily like, because there will certainly be times in his life where he has to get along with people he isn't fond of.

[@samg873]

I'm glad they tried it for as long as Flynn was comfortable.

[@Fldf65]

I love how you and Erik take cues from Flynn,Wesley and Maisy to meet their needs. I’m glad you don’t force your kids to do things (other than what is for safety) and listen to their needs and let them “lead”. They all have their own comfort levels. You are both amazing parents!

[@saramcgrew]

My family uses the phrase PINEAPPLE TIME as a safe word when you’ve had too much family time and just need a break. I think it’s helpful if kids have a word that allows them to express they want alone time but they aren’t mad or upset and just need down time. We even used the phrase when the adults went to Cancun on a vacation with no kids - it really works as a good word especially in big families!

[@theaniacz]

Omg my friends therapist has her family and friends use the word pineapple if her ocd makes her talk too much about a specific thing or be stuck in a loop and situations like that. Basically to break the loop or point she needs a break/ take a breath, or needs space. But now it’s used by her close ones to each other too, I think it’s such a sweet way of noticing boundaries and communicating. I wonder if it’s a thing in psychology or just a coincidence it’s the same word 😅 probably coincidence hahah 🥰

[@HaddyAppleAday]

I hope this message is received as it is intended and I don’t know what your real home life looks like, but you appear really accommodating of your children which is lovely but as kids get older and get to school, they need to have resilience. They need to know that sometimes the answer will be no. As a teacher, I have 25 little people to support and so I cannot meet every want of every student all the time. I worry that if Flynn is fearful of an adult because they didn’t do exactly what he wanted, when he wanted, then he will have a difficult start to school. If you are home schooling he will still need to learn how to work with others in later life.

Hey Colleen! I am a Speech Pathologist- when you talked about Flynn being overwhelmed by that babysitter it reminded me of some of the kids I work with! All of us have things that trigger us and for kids especially, they don't know how to regulate themselves. He probably was experiencing a sensory overload and wasn't given the opportunity to process anything she was saying! Young developing brains need things slowed down a little:) Anyways, I'm glad you guys found a good fit!

As a full time babysitter, there are just some kids you simply don’t like, or they don’t like you. Just like as a human there are people you don’t like. I’ve been with my babysitting agency for 8 months now and there are some kids I’ve watched once or twice and it just didn’t work out, and there are others I’ve met and we click immediately and I’m with them all the time! Its important for the families and the sitters to figure out, what works, what doesn’t, and accept that sometimes it just isn’t meant to be. Learning that has been the main thing that keeps me sane in this career moment.

Oh my goodness Colleen! I saw on tiktok if your baby sips out of a straw and spits it out, its maybe too much for them to handle.

[@mserica3394]

Please be careful that Wesley isn't getting water aspiration from drinking too much from the straw. It can lead to pneumonia. A good practice is to teach babies using a flexible straw and pinch in while they sip so they can learn how to control how much to sip. The face he makes and the spitting out looks like silent choking.

Hey I know why homeroom is a thing!Colleen I just listened to the podcast and I know why schools have homeroom. It’s mostly to extend the attendance period to make sure attendance is correct. Even though school starts at 7:45 you’d be shocked how many people come 10-15 minutes after that. I am a teacher and I update my original attendance because so many kids come in late.

Homerooms where I’m from are mainly in middle & HS to serve as ur home base for only certain occasions (no an everyday thing) such as those 1st days of school to get ur schedule, when a whole grade has to take those standard tests, any time we needed the whole school to vote for something so they knew there were no repeats (homecoming/prom voting), sometimes they did serve as filler time for other non related things that had to do with a class subject. Never served as the home base for attendance taking, cause every period/class u went to, ur teacher is going take attendance anyway. So they are pretty necessary for big schools!

I LOOOVE love love the way your natural hair looks. I know it’s hard wearing your curly hair, but i enjoy everytime you do let it free 💕

[@emilywhittaker3072]

Fave part of the day when Colleen posts!!!

[@cassiegarza8107]

Yes!!!!

[@shelliea4621]

I think you look adorable with bangs. I liked it better when you had long hair & bangs. Flynn is an awesome little human. You guys are great parents.

[@tyleirain9457]

TTQ: Does Erik watch your vlogs? I’m curious because he’s living that moment with you, but does he go back and watch the video of whatever y’all did that day? Also I love you so much and I’m going to see you on tour next year im so excited!! 💜💜💜

[@allyblog]

i think you should definitely cut your bangs! if you dont like them, you can always pin them back or even hide them, but i really liked the curtain bangs you used to have! they looked really good, especially with curly hair.

Oh my god! I’m glad I’m not the only one who hears babies crying when in the shower! It happens all the time!

[@idrisstoomey9747]

Colleen! every time your babies cry they know youre gonna pick them up. sometimes you might have to not do it, as much as it may pain you, they know you will answer every time! maybe if you make the play space a more happy place and experience, rewards and stuff, and not answering every time they cry in it!

[@beaucollins7979]

I can just imagine all the ex babysitters watching this video rn like 👀 wondering if it’s them lmao

[@lauren.hl5]

Hi Colleen! You should make an updated version of the "My Family" music video with all the new babies!! I love watching your videos!💓

[@abbytrainham3854]

I LOVE that you framed and hung up Flynn’s orange juice sign! Mama perfection! I’d pay $45 for Flynn’s OJ any day! ❤

[@DeeannaLouise]

Just celebrating and making her kids feel valued. Amazing parenting right there.

When I watched your birthday vlog and it was our first glimpses of your new home, I felt like I could see into the future. Like I could see you living in those spaces and feeling at home. The features of the home are so unique and gorgeous and will definitely start being apart of your new memories

[@michellelafranzo1650]

You are one of the most fabulous people I have ever watched on KZbin! Thank you so much for posting and making so many people’s days. You are such and amazing person!

[@soniacoad4170]

I am having a crap day, like really bad. Your videos make me feel better, they give me some happiness whilst stressed and frustrated

[@RayneMillaray]

Man, I so wish I could be at the all you show. I've pretty much always just been a Colleen stan. I'm sure you'll be great!

Awe Flynn Is Good At Expressing His Emotion's That Is Rare😍

[@ChoochooseU]

You NEVER should’ve shared this about the babysitter !!! It’s not her fault and not yours - but this will give her a complex and *you are responsible for this now.* It’s your adult responsibility to maintain some basic level of privacy. You should expect it from people you associate with and they should be able to expect it from you. You even gave the vlog this title. Can you imagine how’d you’d felt when this was your occupation ??

👆wow awesome thanks for subscribing and watching 🎉 you won a prize Text above

I read that comment on the video that Eric walked through the house, and I replied, "this is so special! i hope colleen reads this. ❤️" And she ended up reading it. I'm so happy that she got to read that. It really was a special comment.

Poor Babysitter...

[@ashebrightsidhe2142]

As a person who has been dealing with terminal cancer since 2020 I am glad that you are helping the children

[@desarae9778]

I am just going to get sappy for a sec and say that being in my first trimester and miserable (yay all day morning sickness and exhaustion) that these videos are one of the few joys in my life right now. I remember watching the vlogs of you and Eric dating and now to see this family growing makes me so happy. So I am just gonna continue laying in my bed with hot chocolate and graham crackers and my hormones while watching Colleen and this beautiful family. Okay sappiness is done.

[@dani_rose4]
