I have employed nannies for the past 11 years in different stages of my life.
In 2019 I went through 3 nannies in 9 months as I was reflecting I realized that I am part of the problem and that is when I started Probity domestic solutions an educational platform dedicated to teach nanny employers how to cultivate a healthy working environment for their nannies.
My hope for this podcast is that it will serve as a safe space for us to share our stories and share ideas on how we can cultivate a healthy working relationship with our nannies.
Why Your Experienced Nanny Keeps Quiet... And What That Silence Is Costing You
What happens when you hire an experienced nanny but unintentionally create an environment where she no longer feels comfortable sharing what she knows?
In this episode of The Nanny Employer Perspective, Relebogile explores the subtle difference between maintaining high standards and exercising control. She unpacks why experienced nannies sometimes stop offering suggestions, how parental insecurity can quietly influence leadership at home, and what it costs both your family and your nanny when expertise goes unheard.
If you've ever wondered whether you're leading from confidence or from the fear of getting it wrong, this conversation will challenge you to reflect on the kind of environment you're creating in your home.
Today's Diary Reflection:
Think about the last time your nanny suggested doing something differently. Did you dismiss the idea because it conflicted with your family's values or your child's wellbeing, or because accepting it would have meant acknowledging that her experience had something to teach you?

My Nanny Isn't the Same Anymore... Has She Become Complacent
Has your nanny changed over time, or has the working relationship simply entered a new season?
Many parents notice that after a year or two, the nanny who was once proactive, organised and full of initiative no longer shows the same level of enthusiasm. But is it complacency, burnout, changing expectations, or something else?
In this episode of The Village Perspective, we explore why long-term working relationships naturally evolve, how to identify the difference between complacency and a cry for support, and why regular feedback is essential for maintaining a healthy partnership. We also discuss how to have honest conversations before frustration builds and why great leadership addresses small issues before they become big ones.
If you've ever wondered how to restore the relationship with a nanny who just isn't the same as she used to be, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and practical steps to move forward.

You Don't Have to Get This Right the First Time
No parent gets every childcare decision right the first time, and that's okay.
In this episode of The Nanny Employer Perspective, Relebogile explores one of the biggest pressures parents place on themselves: the belief that they have to make the perfect childcare decision from day one. She unpacks the fear of leaving your child with a nanny, the courage it takes to build trust, and why adjusting your childcare plan isn't a sign of failure but part of the journey.
Drawing from her own family's experience and years of employing nannies, Relebogile shares why asking for help is a strength, how trust is built over time, and how the leadership skills you develop at home can positively influence every other area of your life.
Today's Diary Reflection:
Have you been putting pressure on yourself to make the perfect childcare decision, or have you given yourself permission to learn along the way? Remember, getting it wrong doesn't make you a bad parent. It makes you a parent who's growing.
