   That Is Not In My Job Description

   Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss what is and isn’t included in a Nanny’s job description, and how the little asks can gradually become part of the everyday workload. How do nannies suddenly find themselves walking the dog, doing the family washing or cooking for the whole household? The ladies explore how a one-off favour can quietly become an ongoing responsibility, how small requests can snowball, and how this can leave Nannies feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and demotivated by work that falls outside their agreed role. The conversation looks at how Nannies can navigate these requests, negotiate boundaries and feel confident enough to speak openly with their employers when the workload becomes too much. Charlotte, Charlie and Millie also discuss the importance of talking to other Nannies to gain perspective, share experiences and recognise when the little asks have become too much. Charlotte’s DMs At what age do you ask the children to clean up after themselves?

   When The Family Treat You Like Family

   Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss how being treated like a member of the family can be wonderful, but can it also be a poisoned chalice. In a fully staffed household, is there something to be said for simply being able to do your job, feel respected and maintain professional relationships with the parents and other staff, without the complications that can come with blurred boundaries? Being treated as family can create genuine bonds and a greater sense of belonging. When parents show their nanny love, trust and appreciation, it can strengthen the nanny’s relationship with the children and help create a more secure base for them. But where do we draw the line between being a valued member of the household and being an employee whose professional boundaries need to be respected? Does being treated like family sometimes lead to blurred lines and job creep? Does it become harder to say no to extra responsibilities, longer hours or requests that fall outside our job description because we feel emotionally invested in the family? And can that sense of obligation lead to resentment over time? The ladies discuss how we all strive to be respected; how/what can that respect be shown. Is it about being listened to, having our professional advice taken seriously and seeing parents follow through on agreed strategies? Or is it about the more tangible gestures, such as thoughtful gifts, being included in family occasions and feeling remembered? Perhaps it is a combination of both, but can material gestures ever compensate for a lack of professional respect? When a relationship that once felt warm and trusting becomes awkward or strained, it can be incredibly difficult to navigate. And what are the consequences of not being able to speak up? Unspoken frustrations, unrealistic expectations and a lack of boundaries can lead to resentment, burnout and the breakdown of a once-positive relationship. Charlotte's DMs: Hello, as an employer I would be very grateful to hear your opinion in this please. Our Nanny is absolutely wonderful nd great and our children adore her. Shem’s been with us for a couple of years However Recently she has started to eat a lot of food and I am starting to notice the cost. Should I say something if so how? Is it just part of the deal of having a nanny because I want her to feel at home.

   Children's Mental And Emotional Wellbeing: An Interview With Olivia West

   Charlotte, Charlie and Millie chat with Olivia West about children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing. With a father who was a social worker, Olivia went on to study, amongst other things, child psychology, childhood depression and children’s emotional development. We discuss the importance of naming emotions, teaching empathy and modelling healthy emotional behaviour, and how Nannies can support children’s emotional development while remaining firm but fair. Olivia also explores the value of natural consequences and why talking things through with a child after a meltdown, once they are calm, is so important. Charlotte and Charlie also learn that they might be much more gentle carers that they 1st thought!
