Taking care of young children isn’t the easiest task. Some parents hire nannies to help out, but the arranged help needs to find a release mechanism for the job as well.

Enter Twitter. One anonymous male nanny is sharing intimate details from a professional life spent looking after youngsters.

With more than 14,000 followers, the London-based @themalenanny shares fairly profound insights from 6-year-olds, documents their slip-ups, and laments the life advice doled out to him. His account offers a frequently adorable, often hilarious proof that kids do, in fact, say the darndest things.
