What is Nanny Leaks???
This is a community of support for nannies. We are bringing awareness to the moms (and dads) that treat us poorly and giving thanks to the rare ones that treat us well. Nannies have been silent for centuries and it's time to let our voices be heard.
Who – We are two best friends that work in the service industry. One is a nanny, the other is a stay at home mom. For years we'd both be on the phone at our respective jobs, trading tales of micro-managing bosses, juicy gossip about co-workers, impatience with the current station in life, sticking it to the man/woman via passive aggression and how there’s just not enough time in the day.

We wanted to create a space where those voices can be heard and service can be provided, simply by reading each other’s words, liking them, relating to them, answering questions and offering support.
