## Resource

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie dive into the world of babysitting apps—are they a smart way for Nannies to boost their income, or do they come with hidden risks? They share practical advice on staying safe while taking on app-based jobs, from what to check when arriving at a booking to trusting your instincts if something doesn’t feel right. The conversation also covers simple but crucial habits, like keeping someone informed of your location at all times. The episode also puts the spotlight on the apps themselves—what responsibility do they have in protecting nannies, and how could they be doing more?

I did as you say and spoke to them beforehand about overtime hours etc etc it was all discussed and agreed although we’re now back and they arerefusimg to pay me. I’ve spoken to them, sent messages, nothing. They either ignore me or say the payment is on its way. However it’s now been 4 weeks.
