Trash collector watched my kids for just 25 minutes – I decided to hire him as our full-time nanny
Dr. Sanders, a widowed mother of three, was called to a hospital emergency on her day off. With no childcare options, she turned to Bob, the friendly neighborhood garbageman her kids adored, asking if he could watch them briefly. Bob agreed despite his busy day.
Returning hours later, Dr. Sanders was stunned to find her home tidy, Lucy napping, and the older kids reading. “How did you do this?” she asked. Bob explained he’d been a single dad and knew how to handle kids.
Grateful, Dr. Sanders offered him a full-time caregiver role with triple his salary and better benefits. Bob accepted, and his presence brought warmth and stability to their lives. To thank him, Dr. Sanders gifted him Disneyland tickets for his family.
This taught her the value of finding caregivers who truly connect with children.
