Max Kalogirou, 29, has been involved in childcare since he was 16, starting with children’s birthday parties and later working at a daycare. He discovered a passion for working with young children, especially helping them develop curiosity and learn. After eight years in daycare, he transitioned to being a nanny. Kalogirou faced a surprise life change when he became a father unexpectedly, which led him to adjust his nanny schedule for more flexibility. Despite challenges, including a parent once objecting to him changing a baby’s diaper, he values the support he received from colleagues and mentors. He now wonders if his age and gender as a male nanny may affect his hireability.
