What The Nanny Heard

This week, Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie chat with the wonderful Maria, whose journey from nanny to House Manager is nothing short of inspiring.Arriving in England with zero English, Maria worked her way up with resilience, confidence, and an unshakeable belief in her worth. From au pairing in Italy at 17, to a life-changing move from North London to Kensington, Maria has never shied away from fighting for what she deserves — from contracts and holiday pay to proper payslips.Her career story is full of bold decisions and brilliant twists, including applying for a role that required Hindi (a language she didn’t speak!) — and proving that her passion for India and her exceptional skill set were more than enough to land the job. Her position began as a temp role. She showed the family her loyalty, commitment and expert childcare skills; ultimately leading to her becoming their household manager. Maria’s journey shows what’s possible when determination meets self-respect.Get in touch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/your_nanny_network/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/145513705160641Email: yournannynetwork@gmail.comWebsite: https://www.yournannynetwork.co.uk/YNN Disclaimer:The content on our site is provided for information only.

This week, Charlotte, Charlie and Millie explore how parenting styles have evolved over the decades — and where Nannies sit within that shift.The trio dive into the contrast between traditional and modern approaches to raising children, and how their own Nannying styles fit into today’s landscape. They unpack the discipline methods they do and don’t use, what’s changed over the years, and how to strike a healthy balance between a structured, educational routine and a more fluid, boundary-light approach.As Nannies, we have a responsibility to support children’s learning through play — but where do screens fit into that? Should Nannies be teaching children how to use technology, or is that the job of parents and schools?Charlotte, Charlie and Millie also break down the most common parenting styles, reveal which Nannying style each of them naturally leans toward, and how they adapt or merge their approaches when working with different families.With childcare costs rising, extended family members are now more involved than ever — adding a whole new dynamic of childcare styles for Nannies to navigate.Dear Charlotte’s DMsI’ll be taking the toddler that I look after to the library.

Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie tackle the tricky subject of managing conflict in nanny roles.Even in the happiest positions, disagreements can arise — and that’s perfectly normal.Conflict doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to end the partnership; often, it’s simply time for an honest, calm conversation before any resentment builds.The discussion covers:How to stay professional when things don’t go the way you hoped.When to ride out the storm — knowing your family and recognising when external factors, like stress at their work, might be influencing their behaviour.How to handle things gracefully if termination becomes unavoidable — maintaining professionalism and integrity through your notice period.Why expressing your feelings and experiences helps employers grow and become better bosses.Dear Charlotte’s DMsHi Girls really live the podcast. I work in one of those communal garden squares in London. All the children that play in this garden end up coming into my Nanny family's house and they end up playing and none of the other nannies or parents ever reciprocate. I am resentful and I am burnt out at taking care of all the other people’s children.Get in touch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/your_nanny_network/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/145513705160641Email: yournannynetwork@gmail.comWebsite: https://www.yournannynetwork.co.uk/YNN Disclaimer:The content on our site is provided for information only.
