## Resource

Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie explore different styles of early years education, taking a closer look at the Montessori, Waldorf Steiner, and Reggio Emilia approaches. They break down how these philosophies overlap, where they differ, and the unique developmental benefits each one offers. The discussion turns personal as each host reflects on which approach best aligns with their own nannying style—and why. They also unpack a common phrase seen in job descriptions: “We follow the Montessori approach.” What does that actually look like in a home setting? And if parents are too rigid in sticking to one philosophy, can that limit a nanny’s ability to work intuitively and meet a child’s individual needs? The conversation then shifts to social media, particularly Instagram. Should nannies and parents use it to form opinions or expectations around childcare practices? Charlotte’s DMs How can I interview for a new Nanny job when I can't use my current employer as a job reference? I don’t want an agency or any parents to contact my current boss because I don't want them to know I am taking time to find a new job, and I don't want to give any notice until I've signed my new contract for my new job.
