The Black Nanny

Welcome or welcome back! And a very Happy New Year to you. Come have a listen to what's been going on so you'll be in the know with what's to come!

Okay, okay, the secret is out! Tune in and let me explain why I've been the most horrible host!....And then go over to Instagram and like and follow...something like that...I promise, I'll get better with it 🤣

This King's obsession with this nutty sandwich spread will end in a sticky situation if he can't manage some self-control!

Just a little luck to start off your week!

I must have had the giggles this episode! Either that or I'm just so excited to be back with new episodes! Just a handful of minutes to catch you up and the rest for some funnies and a mini storytime. I'll see you next episode!

This one used to be a favorite of mine when I was a little kid. There was just somethin so hilarious about trying to stave illness to get out of school (which I never did!) Get a pre-rona chuckle from Shel Silverstein's "Sick"😷

Hello, hello my lovelies!! Boy have I missed you guys! So what's in store for this week here on the podcast☂️

Massively short. Massively funny. We will be back with a FULL episode next Tuesday!☂️

Schools may be on break, but a nanny's work is never done! Pushing Poetry is my series that highlights great poems for kids☂️

Ever been in a rotten mood and you just want to shout it to the masses?! Well then, do so.....and be poetic about it! 😉 Still pushing Poetry continues.

More Pushing Poetry! Here's a fun one for the week. Test your little ones' sarcasm meter......do they get it yet?

Yes it's more Shel Silverstein....don't worry, we'll switch it up soon enough!

Yes it's a big deal and no you should never skip out on your time with just you and your honey! Ive already preached about how modeling is important and the kiddos lives, no exception in this way either.

Still reading Shel Silverstein! Go on, I know you have at least ONE of his books in your home! If not go check it out at your library!

These stories are from all of my collective years as a nanny, but many will focus on the particular dynamic of the Black Nanny working in Missoula, Montana. Don't forget to join us over in Instagram @TheBlackNannyPodcast and give us some feedback on the storytime. Thank you again to all of you listening! Now go and listen some more.☂️

Hello, hello my lovelies! So sorry to have you all on hold again. Please forgive me while I prepare for international travel. A new episode will be up this week!

Sometimes we just get stuck, stuck in a bunch of Yuck. Good luck today, dont step in any Yuck!

Dont know how to set a baseline for reading? No worries, I got you! They out some Children's Poetry. It's the perfect introduction to kids with little exposure to full out storybooks. They're quick, quirky and perfect for letting kids be silly for a minute or two. I'm going to cover lots of poems, let's start with a fav, Hungry Mungry by Shel Silverstein! ☂️

While this is the fun part of it all, it is simultaneously the most important part of it all!  Be enthusiastic about your trip, draw attention to your wins, shower the kids with praise while they successfully follow out all you've practice in real time.  Celebrate when you arrive to your destination and once more when you're home.  It's just that simple, but makes all the difference for repeat tri...

This one's a long one I'm afraid. I chunked it up so you can skip things that you feel you dont need. Seriously, I tried to keep this as short as I could but this step is important. It's an easy step, essentially, do what you practiced doing. Stay consistent and vigilant......CONSTANT VIGILANCE! My apologies, I've been reading HP Goblet of Fire to Bo on her podcast. Mad-Eye Moody. Mad. Eye. Moody....

A HUGE thank you and shoutout to those of you who have been listening from the very beginning!! A huge bear hug to my Zootown family, yall were so very open to me and I appreciate that. Smooches to all my Floridian supporters, mostly fam and friends, yall rock. And to everyone from Cali to Maharashtra, THANK YOU!!☂️

I'm super excited to release this 3 episode series that will make going on outings (yes, even new ones) a breeze! Trust me, I've chaperoned big groups of students in large and highly populated venues with ease. That ease came from using these same techniques I discuss in this series. It all begins here in episode one with preparation and practice. Let's get this series started!

Hello my lovelies! Here is the simplest way to boost sequencing and comprehension skills in reading. Treat this exercise like a template. Once your reader gets better at using this technique, you simply adjust it to fit their current skill level. Start here....and by the way, there's a video of this on the YouTube channel ☂️

A great big ol' welcome to all the new listeners and a quick shoutout too!

Hello, hello there you guys! After a short hiatus, I'm back and with new stuff in tow! I'm excited about the new year. If all goes well we are all in for some cool surprises. Let me fill you in! By the way, super-duper Black Nanny points if you can tell me where I got the title from. The only hint, a famous fictional lion said it.
