I remember the first nanny job I took on. At the time I was a young spring chicken, I took on a role working with a lovely Italian family. I wanted to come across uber professional. Like I knew it all and was there to save the day.Only I was just starting out and managed to do things like putting their little girls’ diaper on backwards. Whoops! Despite my mishaps starting out I instantly fell for nannying.I had very recently lost my Mother and when nannying I could feel her now and then. For instance, when a little one and I were together they’d look at me in a way that was just pure love.It g ..read more

How to create the perfect relationship
Nanny Maryanne

“No relationship is perfect, is it Carron?” “You are so right Rebeka, mine is the same”. I overheard as I was sitting down to my delicious morning cappuccino in my favourite coffee shop. It was a dull, rainy Monday morning and I was ever so slightly intrigued and blatantly nosey to find out what’s happening to Rebeka’s relationship. As the rain poured I sank into my caffeinated treat and I heard Rebeka go on to tell her friend that her weekend had been awful. She explained how all weekend long she and her husband had been bickering something awful. It went from tiny issues here and there to fu ..read more

How to avoid temper tantrums
Nanny Maryanne

They come in all shapes and sizes don’t they? The scary jolts of emotion fireworks that sometimes creep out of little humans as if from no where, and sometimes they happen after a long stressful day. Although temper tantrums often present negative behaviour, we can’t always just assume that they are typical “naughty behaviour” without being thoughtful and looking into the cause of why child is acting this way. Sometimes, yes, children test their behaviour limits around different people to understand what is and what isn’t acceptable. However, there is always a reason and it’s important that we ..read more

What a year it has been!

Is your child getting enough food?
Nanny Maryanne
by nannymaryanne

It’s so easy to worry that little ones aren’t getting enough of the good stuff. Then another worry is are they getting too much. It can be crazy stressful and intimidating when you see what other children are getting to eat. Often so many parents land in a confusing world of having no idea if they are doing the right thing. After working with children for almost seven years, I can easily say that I have came a long way. If you happen to be a worried parent, not quite sure if your child is getting enough of the food they need, then you are in the right place. First off, you have to know that yo ..read more

Taking care of your mental health as a Nanny
Nanny Maryanne

It’s really lovely when a family who you work with make an effort to take care of you. My previous Nanny job was I think one of the best I have ever had. They had never had a Nanny before, yet treated me impeccably. I know of many families who have never had a Nanny before and will use that as an excuse if they don’t treat the Nanny the way he or she should be treated. Not long into this position, one day I had messaged the parents who were at work at the time, saying that I just put their little one down for a nap. I like to let the parents know what’s going on, especially at the start to put ..read more
