Summit Session- Off The Clock: Cultivating Community and Joy Outside of Work

What happens when the professional caregiver needs care? Stephanie Bauckham's journey from exhausted nanny to passionate self-care advocate offers powerful insights for anyone in the caregiving profession. After 13 years as a dedicated nanny and household manager, Stephanie found herself completely burnt out - working 12-hour days, her health declining, and her personal life non-existent. The wake-up call came when she realized she needed to advocate for herself or risk serious consequences. This pivotal moment not only transformed her own career but inspired the creation of Nanny Tees, which evolved from clever apparel into a movement championing nanny wellbeing and community. Throughout our conversation, Stephanie dismantles common misconceptions about self-care in the caregiving profession. True self-care isn't just occasional pampering—it's proper rest, nutrition, financial responsibility, and seeking mental health support when needed. Her candid admission about benefiting from therapy offers a refreshing perspective on emotional wellbeing for professional caregivers. As she poignantly states, "Imagine if you put as much energy into yourself that you put into your nanny family... nobody could tell you anything!" Perhaps most valuable is Stephanie's guidance on boundary-setting as an essential professional skill. Her perspective is refreshingly direct: "If they fired me for setting boundaries, that wasn't the family for me anyway." This mindset shift empowers nannies to advocate for their needs with confidence. Through her growing national nanny retreats, Stephanie continues creating spaces where caregivers can recharge, connect, and prioritize themselves. Whether you're a professional nanny, childcare provider, or anyone in a caregiving role, this episode offers practical wisdom for building joy and community outside your professional identity.
