Summary
Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie discuss the age-old question: who are Nannies really training — the children or the parents? They explore the delicate balance of managing expectations, routines, and boundaries in a role that often extends far beyond childcare. The ladies discuss the familiar Monday struggle: returning to work after weekend routines have been completely undone. Is it back to square one every time? Do Nannies have the right to complain, or is professionalism about accepting that parents will do as they please during the Nanny’s time off? Also up for discussion is whether perspective and emotional resilience develop with experience, and if time in the job helps Nannies manage the mental load more effectively. Charlotte and Millie then share their own distressing stories of being fibbed to by their parents! Reflecting on how those moments linger long after they happen — and why trust is such a crucial, and fragile, part of the Nanny–child relationship. Charlotte’s DMs I am in a bit of a tricky situation, please may you help me? My employers are always blaming me for things that aren’t my fault. When things go missing I am accused or at least I am asked with many, many questions and if anything happens to the house or gets broken they always give me an accusing look.
