In this TGON podcast episode, I'm getting to combine my two loves in life: The Game of Nerds and childcare. For those who don't know, my day job is as a childcare coach and nanny for families in the San Francisco Bay Area. All my nanny kids know me as the nerdy nanny who is fluent in superheroes and television shows. Marie happens to be a fellow nanny and podcast co-host of sheNANNYgans Podcast. We sat down to chat about our love of and expertise in children's television.

The pandemic has caused a lot of parents to lean on television to survive the day. This episode isn't to shame anyone or remind you of what the official research says about kids who watch tv. If anything, this episode is to give you more quality options and remind you of what's really important. After all, the most common question I'm asked is what are some good educational shows for my child to watch? Marie and I dive right in and talk about some of the shows that we grew up loving. We were children of the '90s so Nick Jr and Nickelodeon shows were staples. A lot of it was frankly slapstick comedy that went way over our heads. Blues Clues was about the only educational thing in there along with Teletubbies and Barney. But that's the sad reality of children's television choices today, there is an overwhelming amount of shows out there and only a few are actual gems.
