In the penultimate episode of What The Nanny Heard Next Charlotte, Charlie and Millie interview Laura the childminder.

Laura explains how she became a mother 15 years ago. Going on to describe how she initially took her baby to work. Unfortunately, between all the grey areas and their expectations of Laura, the situation became untenable, leading Laura to take control and become her own boss.

Laura has established herself in Surrey now only taking bookings via word of mouth. Life wasn’t always like that though,. Laura recalls the days of pounding the streets leaflet dropping! Those hours were all worth it since now she is a hands-on mum with the flexibility and control absent when Nannying.

Laura recalls how Covid took her business away overnight, how it has since impacted her and the highs and lows of funded places.

This is episode 4 of the What The Nanny Heard Mini Series What The Nanny Heard Next.

The next 2 week’s episodes will demonstrate how Nannies have transferable skills. How they can divert, career wise, from Nannying into something else both fulfilling and successful.

In this 4th episode Charlotte, Charlie and Millie interview Leanne about her path from loving babies to becoming a Nanny to eventually being a Nanny agency owner.

Having been a Nanny Leanne is able to empathise with her Nannies when problems arise in their roles. Being an exNanny also allows Leanne to manage her clients and their expectations. Leanne speaks openly about transferable skills and the challenges she came across.

Leanne encourages Nannies to take the plunge and try something new. Worst case scenario a Nanny’s passion for Nannying will still be there for a Nanny to return to in the future.

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!

Lillian gives clear and in depth answers to all the listeners’ questions whilst being mindful of swerving any lawyer jargon!!! Giving clarity on what Nannies should have in their contract and how to deal with situations such as employers refusing to adhere to a contract or, even worse, refusing to issue one all together. Amongst other things Lillian advises on how often contracts should be reviewed, where a Nanny stands if they've been made redundant and what payout they're entitled too.

The ladies and Lillian dissect the whole 50/50 holiday debate… * Spoiler Alert * When you hear the answer you may wish they had not asked!

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss gender stereotypes such as subliminal messages that are sent to us via the clothes children wear,

The ladies discuss hints and tips on how to try and make a home more inclusive.

What language we, as professionals, catch ourselves saying and why we should not use certain phrases. Even reading books and the questions we ask children can have an unconscious bias. These topics all need to be recognised and discussed, Charlotte, Charlie and Millie acknowledge they only just scratch the surface of this topic. Much more work remains to be done by them and other professionals.

Listener Question:

Hi What The Nanny Heard,

I listened to your episode the other week about potty training.

The 2 and ½ year old I am looking after is doing really well with wees but will not poo in the potty or the toilet. He will hold it until he has a nappy on at nap time or bedtime then shout for me to change him, then go to sleep. What should I do?
