What Does It Mean to Dream About Nanny?

To dream of a nanny represents feelings about your own caretaking instincts, sense of responsibility, and support of others. Feelings about yourself or others having to take care of other people all the time like it's a job that never has to stop. Feelings about not being laughed at for why taking care of other people is what you do all the time.

Negatively, dreaming about a nanny may represents feeling like others expect you to take care of them all the time and not appreciating your efforts. Feeling burdened by the responsibility of taking care of others and not having enough time for yourself. Feeling like taking care of others is a thankless job and that nobody notices or acknowledges your hard work. Feeling like your own needs and desires are always put on hold in order to take care of others. Feeling like your caretaking efforts are not good enough and that you are failing to meet the needs of those you are responsible for.

To dream of a nanny going on vacation represents your own caretaking instincts and sense of responsibility that she had temporarily put on hold. The need for balancing personal time with her duties and responsibilities. Time off for someone who takes care of you. A temporary release from caretaking responsibilities, a desire for personal time or a break from routine caretaking duties. Alternatively, it may reflect the dreamer's perception of temporarily losing the support and guidance in their life or feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities that someone usually helps with.

Example: A young woman dreamed of a nanny walking up to her to talk to her about her long vacation. In waking life she had taken 2 weeks off to find a new job while her 2 friends hadn't had their child yet which she planned to help them look after. In this case the nanny returning from vacation may have reflected her feelings of obligation to take care of her friends' child and return to her caretaking role after taking time off for her own personal needs. The dream may suggest a sense of duty towards others and a need to balance her own needs with her responsibilities to others.
