Savannah Chrisleyis taking a moment to reflect on her new role as a “bonus parent.”

Ina montage of photosposted toher Instagramon Wednesday, theChrisley Knows Beststar, 25,opened up about taking on the role of parental guardian while her parents are serving time in prison. “What my world spins around ❤️,” she began her caption.

“I’m not their mom. I’m not their dad. I’m their sister and I get to love and guide them through life. Being a bonus parent is TOUGH…no one could ever add up to their parents,” Chrisley continued.

“But these kiddos have shown me so much love, patience, grace, understanding, and appreciation!” she said. “Helping to raise these two kiddos is the hardest but most rewarding job I will ever have.”

“I’ve always said, ‘God meant for me to be a mama!’…little did I know, the journey would start a little sooner than expected! But luckily, I have had THE MOST AMAZING mama in the world to learn from! Because of her I can do this!”

“Single parent/income households…I SEE YOU! We do it solo. IT IS HARD! It can be so defeating! But I promise you…God will NOT give us more than we can bare! I SEE YOU! I BELIEVE IN YOU! YOU CAN DO THIS!”

“Chloe and Gray…YOU ARE MY LIFE! Thank you for letting me love you and thank you for loving me back ❤️,” she concluded her caption.

Since becoming primary guardian, Savannah has been sharing her experience parenting her relatives on her social media accounts and her podcast. Earlier this July, Chrisleyposted a few photos from her beach vacation with Chloe. In one snap, Chloe looked away as she sipped on a drink in a tropical setting, wearing a green and white swirled cover-up.

“She’s living her best life,” Savannah wrote on the photo.
