Summary
Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss how a Nanny can approach what is often an awkward and sensitive conversation with employers when they have concerns about a child’s development. They explore how to handle difficult reactions from parents, including denial or anger—responses that, while challenging, are not uncommon. The conversation also looks at how Nannies can manage their own frustration when their concerns are not acknowledged or acted upon, and what alternative ways they might continue to advocate for the child. The episode highlights the importance of all caregivers being aligned, while recognising that some children may mask behaviours in settings like school, making it harder for teachers to identify potential needs. Millie shares her personal experience with her son, who presents differently at school than at home. Finally, they emphasise the importance of Nannies taking ownership of their own CPD, building their knowledge around additional needs and child development so they feel more confident and equipped to support the children in their care. Charlotte’s DMs I could please use your advice, Your Nanny Network, please help What The Nanny Heard. I am working as a Nanny and the parents are now working from home full time. I thought they were due to go back to the office but they're not going to go back now. I am finding this really, really, really hard to work with. Please can you give me any help or advice?
