Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie explore the purpose of trial days for Nannies — whether they’re truly necessary, what they reveal about compatibility, and how long they should realistically last, including when an overnight might be appropriate.

They dig into the tricky subject of payment, from travel expenses to trial-day rates, and how Nannies can raise the topic confidently without feeling greedy, especially when they’re giving up their time and effectively working.

They also look at what happens when families skip trials altogether, discussing how Nannies can still learn the home’s rhythms, expectations, and ask the awkward but important questions. Finally, they unpack the attitudes on both sides: what Nannies are looking for in parents during a trial, and what parents and children tend to look for in a nanny.

Charlotte’s DMs:

Is it appropriate for me to invite my Nanny family to my wedding?

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss the realities of caring for multiples—twins, triplets and beyond—and explore what Nannies need to consider before taking on this unique challenge.

They discuss why caring for more than one child at the same developmental stage differs from working with a singleton, touching on the extra logistics, emotional load and constant balancing of competing needs.

The conversation covers how day-to-day routines shift when managing multiples, from scheduling and outings to behaviour and individual attention, as well as practical ways to promote resilience and independence in young children even when the demands of caring for more than one toddler or preschooler can feel overwhelming.

Dear Charlotte’s Dms:

I keep getting sick from my Nanny kids. Do you refuse to work if the children come down with certain illnesses?

This week, Charlotte, Charlie and Millie speak with Chloe from Louenna’s Nannies to uncover what really happens behind the scenes at a nanny agency. With all recruiters coming from childcare backgrounds, Louenna’s Nannies brings a unique understanding to matching nannies with families, and Chloe explains how this experience shapes their onboarding and placement process.

Chloe shares practical advice on how Nannies can present themselves professionally and stand out during interviews. She covers everything from CV essentials to the importance of keeping CPD up to date. She also highlights the key dos and don’ts when applying for roles, emphasising the importance of clear communication, reliability and honest conversations about expectations.

The episode delves into current trends in Nannying styles and how modern roles have evolved in response to family needs. Chloe discusses how the cost of living has affected the market, including increased responsibilities, stagnant salaries, and why salary expectations must be discussed upfront — not after interviews or trials.

Chloe also addresses the complexities around bringing your own child to work, outlining what Nannies should consider and how to negotiate this transparently. Finally, she speaks openly about the lack of support some agencies offer their Nannies, a viewpoint fully aligned with Your Nanny Network.
