What The Nanny Heard

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss Nanny cameras and AirTags. They explain what a Nanny camera is, what the legalities are and whether or not they, personally, think cameras and AirTags are ethical.

The ladies discuss how much ‘watching of the camera’ by the employer is OK? Is there a line? Millie gives a balanced view from the side of the parent. If a Nanny is settled in a role and the cameras are then fitted; what is the purpose of the installation? This is a serious conversation that has to be had between the Nanny and employer.

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie argue whether they would change their day to day routine if they knew they were being tracked? Are AirTags incredible safety tools or merely tracking devices? Will AirTags become the norm in the future?

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie chat to the lovely Suzie. Suzie gives an open and honest overview of her varied and vast career from beginning until the present day.

Suzie speaks frankly about being a mother and the financial implications of that especially when she was no longer able/wanted to Nanny.

When Suzie took the plunge and decided to return to Nannying, knew her role had to tick certain boxes. She discusses her anxieties regarding returning including the complexities of taking a roles with older children versus a baby. Suzie compares the rewarding feeling of helping children meet their milestones, which really only comes from the consistency of Nannying, as opposed to social work where she was dipping in and out.

After her 1st interview she was panicking that potential employers might deem her too old? Do people not want to employ Nannies that are older than them? Her panic then diminished once her self-assurance kicked in. Suzie talks about how Nannying has changed since her last employment 17 years ago, is it easier or harder now?

One thing is for sure, despite Suzie’s ever evolving career, her constant love for children shines through.

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss when it is time to leave a role before things become unbearable. Should Nannies continue in their role when they’re not happy or ride it out and see what happens? 

The ladies discuss the complexities of a long notice period, specifically if things turn sour. There is advice on how a Nanny, trying to deal with the unpleasant day to day ramifications of resigning, can remain professional. Also what happens in the worst case scenario of an employer refusing to write a reference especially since this can be detrimental to a Nanny’s career.

Listener Question:

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss what makes a great Nanny.

Fundamental skills all Nannies have, by the very nature of someone choosing to be a Nanny in the 1st place, and how should they apply these skills.

Do all Nannies have the same skills?

The ladies discuss what skills are paramount. They offer advice on how Nannies can help themselves if they lack a specific skill or two.

Should Nannies speak up and offer their advice when it has not necessarily been asked for?

• Apologies for Charlotte’s ghastly cough

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss the role of the Nanny when a new sibling is arriving.

How can Nannies prepare the older children for their new sibling? When should the older children be told a baby is coming? What level of involvement should the older children be encouraged to participate in, in regards to preparing the new baby’s nursery, buggy, clothes etc.

The ladies discuss what happens before the baby is born. Who is looking after the child(ren) if labor happens overnight? Are retainers a thing?!  They discuss the Nanny’s workload and whether a pay rise is guaranteed. Should a Nanny ask?

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie offer hints and tips on how to negotiate parents post birth: being at home, reading the room, being aware of hormones and being diplomatic!

There will be a shift in the children and Nanny’s routine so be organised, be prepared, think ahead, make it smooth for yourself.

Listener Question:

We have someone asking about the Networking Event… When is it? Where is it? What is the information?

In this 3rd episode of What The Nanny Heard... Next: Charlotte, Charlie and Millie interview Norland Nanny Emma Davis about her path from the world renowned Norland College to 1st Aid Trainer and everything in between.

Emma discusses jumping into Nannying with both feet when her Nannying career began in London with 4 children under 5! Not shy of a challenge, Emma stayed with that family for 8 years before settling down to have a family of her own. Emma describes the long list of varied routes she dabbled with before settling with her passion of 1st Aid. 

Emma talks about how she likes to run her courses, ensuring they are lively, engaging and not death by power point. She explains what Nannying skills were transferable and the challenges she overcame.

Emma has words of warning for Nannies before booking any 1st Aid course.

Do your due diligence… Is your 1st Aid trainer registered? Regulated? Is their training up to date? Emma lets us know how (scarily) easy it is for someone to become a trainer.

Emma gives us a small insight to her current very secret plans for the future, her rebrand  and bringing fun back in to learning. We hope Emma will return for another episode once her rebrand is no longer classified information!
