Being a nanny is not without its perks, and finding things on the job can be a big one simply because of how random and funny some things really are once found.
The Laundry Room
The laundry room is one of those places where the strangest things turn up as you’re emptying pockets or pulling clothes out of the dryer to be folded. How many times have you started going through the pockets of different pants and shirts only to find something that makes your head turn ever so slightly, especially when some of the stuff is coming from the most unlikely people…
The Couch
Ah, the hoarder of all things you thought you lost forever. The couch is infamous for holding on to items and effectively hiding them from, releasing them from its grips when you least expect it and at the most inopportune times.
The Medicine Cabinet
People’s medicine cabinets can tell you a lot about them. Especially because a lot of people don’t use medicine cabinets to store medicine anymore, it has become a place to collect random odds and ends.
The Refrigerator
Sometimes people put the darndest things in the refrigerator. Just when you thought the family you nanny for couldn’t get any weirder you open up the fridge and find…
The Nightstand
Ah the nightstand. Open up a drawer and you’re bound to stumble upon some random little treasures.
The Garage
The garage has turned into one of those deep, dark, black holes that swallows up strange items that you probably didn’t even know you had. Like the aquarium even though you’ve never had fish. Or the ceiling fan that you’re not sure where it came from…
The Office
That room that you call an office but haven’t stepped foot in since you converted it tends to beckon for random trinkets that should probably have been thrown out years ago, and always gives a good laugh to whoever stumbles in and finds them.
The Home Gym
The home gym is one of those rooms that’s made with the best of intentions but usually ends up collecting a fine layer of dust and boxes filled with little surprises.
The Hall Closet
How many times have you been in a panicked frenzy cleaning the house and just shoved an inordinate amount of items into the hall closet to get them out of the way? Pretty sure we’ve all been there and we all forget about that stuff right until that crucial moment when someone opens the door and it all comes tumbling out…
Houses have a funny way of collecting random odds and ends that you don’t think twice about until someone like your nanny stumbles on them. Thankfully unless it’s something really embarrassing everyone usually gets a pretty good laugh out of it. Especially the nanny.
