Show Notes
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.
