The Best-Loved Nanny

Career nanny Tara Lindsay, better known as The Detroit Nanny, joins Best-Loved Nanny to share one of the most personal and heartbreaking experiences of her 30+ year career: losing a nanny kid to childhood cancer.

Tara reflects on the unique grief that comes with losing a child you’ve cared for and loved, the lasting impact of that loss 15 years later, and the resources and support available to nannies navigating grief of their own.

Content note: This episode includes conversations about childhood cancer, grief, and the loss of a child. Please listen when you feel ready.

This conversation honors the memory of a deeply loved nanny kid and offers an important reminder to grieving caregivers: you are not alone.

In this episode, I speak with Evie to discuss a situation many career nannies eventually face: the day the children they've helped raise head off to school full-time. Rather than seeing it as the end of a chapter, Evie turned this common transition into an exciting new career, partnering with her nanny family to help launch a successful company. Join us as she shares her unique journey, the lessons she learned, and how one chapter led to another.
