Summary

Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie explore the purpose of trial days for Nannies — whether they’re truly necessary, what they reveal about compatibility, and how long they should realistically last, including when an overnight might be appropriate.  They dig into the tricky subject of payment, from travel expenses to trial-day rates, and how Nannies can raise the topic confidently without feeling greedy, especially when they’re giving up their time and effectively working.  They also look at what happens when families skip trials altogether, discussing how Nannies can still learn the home’s rhythms, expectations, and ask the awkward but important questions. Finally, they unpack the attitudes on both sides: what Nannies are looking for in parents during a trial, and what parents and children tend to look for in a nanny.
