The Nanny After Me: What We Leave Behind

What The Nanny Heard

Show Notes

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss the moment a nanny realises it’s time to move on and everything that comes with that decision. They explore what Nannies leave behind — emotionally and practically — and whether this transition feels more sad or exciting.

The conversation covers leaving gifts (yes or no?), staying in touch after a role ends, birthdays and birthday presents, and the complex mix of emotions experienced by both the nanny and the child or children.

The ladies also share thoughtful advice on navigating this potentially tough time, including handling the handover to a new Nanny. Including passing on personal notes, hints and tips that can help instil confidence and reassurance in the children during the change.

Charlotte’s DMs My family are expecting to have a new baby any day now soon and it’s a little girl. Should I get them a gift? And if so, do you know what I can get that is on the affordable side?
