Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie discuss whether the elusive “unicorn job” really exists.

They explore how a Nanny can turn a job advert on paper into a role that truly works for them, including who to speak to, when to speak up, and how to communicate professionally and effectively.

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie are clear that once a role begins Nannies need time to earn their stripes—roles can’t simply be reshaped on demand. Building trust, demonstrating professionalism, and working hard are essential, and when those things are in place, fair reward should follow.

They also discuss how to approach role adjustments when something isn’t quite right. The key? Bringing solutions, not just problems. The episode unpacks the difference between healthy compromise and diva behaviour, and how to advocate for yourself without damaging the working relationship.

Finally, the conversation turns to balance and job security. In a climate where nannies can feel increasingly disposable, they reflect on whether employers later regret flippant dismissals—and whether remorse ever truly comes into play.
