Manny the Manny
I am a male nanny ("manny") with 11+ years of experience in taking care of children, as well as training parents and other caregivers. I enjoy everything about children, especially when they share their chocolate milk with me. Most importantly, I'm here to help. Ask me a question or send me an email.
As several readers have noticed, I have been MIA this week. Aside from one post on Monday — which I managed to throw together on the train — I have been almost invisible.
The straight dope is that I’ve been under the weather, dealing with a sinus infection. I get about three of them a year, but I’m always in denial about them when they crop up. This time, I powered through without missing any work — the parents don’t get to take sick days, so why should I? — but eventually I realized I was sicker than I thought. This became abundantly apparent on Tuesday, when I had to take a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day after dropping Yoshi off at synagogue, just to feel like I could carry on living.
So, at any rate, that’s my excuse for my radio silence. I’m still sick today, but I’m on the mend and will have a new, substantive post up this afternoon over the weekend.
In the mean time, I’ll throw a Kid Kwote your way to reward your patience. Thank you as always for reading, and remember to always dress warmly and wash your hands frequently.
—Manny
