Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss whether there is such a thing as the perfect role.

Is there? As Nannies are we able to shape our perfect role? What is negotiable and what is not?

Have you seen a job advert that is almost perfect? The ladies talk through the importance of never being too afraid of asking the question… is it possible to have more hours, less? To travel? To live out? If the Nanny doesn’t ask the question they won’t know and could miss out on what could be their perfect role.

Listener’s Question:

Hey girls! I really enjoy the podcast. I really loved last week's episode on travel. I have a quick question because I have recently travelled with my job and I am quite upset that I ended up working as much as I did. Much more than my contracted hours. I haven't been paid for these extra hours because my employers' view was that they were around during the day and they covered my flights, accommodation and food. I don't think this is very fair, what shall I do?

Listener’s Question:

Dear What The Nanny Heard,

I am looking for a new job and I have found a live-in job that I really like. I have met with the parents and children and I think I will be offered the job soon. I am only really wanting to live-in to save some money to get a deposit on my own property.

This family are looking for a long term Nanny and I am looking for a long term job. But I would really like to only live-in for a couple of years. How do I speak to them about potentially going to live-out whilst I am working there without rocking the boat?
