It is common practice for parents today turn to Google, AI apps, and smart tech for advice and support, but what does that mean for the role of a professional nanny?

Is there a chance Nannies will be replaced by robots?!!

What does the use of AI and Google lack? The ladies discuss the positives and negatives of the rise of AI.

Charlotte, Charlie, and Milie discuss the importance of boundaries for Nannies within their employment role, and why they matter for both the Nanny and the employer. Boundaries help create a healthy, respectful working relationship and protect the wellbeing of everyone involved.

They explore what happens if a Nanny hasn’t set a specific boundary during the interview or trial period, reassuring listeners that it’s never too late to establish them once in post. The conversation also covers how boundaries may need to change over time if personal circumstances shift, and offers practical hints and tips to help Nannies feel more confident and assertive when communicating those changes.

The episode also looks at how to handle situations where an employer may not be happy with a boundary being set or adjusted, and how to navigate those conversations while staying professional.

Finally, the ladies share advice on negotiating when your boundaries differ from those of a previous Nanny, helping you to set clear expectations from the start.

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie speak to Beth and Marion from Rockit’s Play Centre about inclusivity, SEN, and how Nannies can best support the children in their care.

Rockit’s is an award-winning play centre founded by Beth, a mum whose son is Autistic. With Marion’s unwavering support, Beth created a safe, inclusive space for children with additional needs — and a welcoming community for parents, carers, and Nannies.

Beth speaks honestly about the barriers she faced when seeking help: being passed from school to GP to NHS with little support, and how many families must turn to charities and community-led initiatives for guidance. She also shares why inclusive play spaces are so vital.

Marion brings her wealth of knowledge and passion, offering practical advice on how Nannies can adapt their own provision to meet individual needs — and how to make playdates inclusive for every child.

This episode is eye-opening, encouraging, and a reminder that while the system may fall short, supportive communities and shared knowledge can make all the difference.

This week Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss whether online spaces are supportive or toxic.

They examine how online forums and groups can be a lifeline for Nannies, offering advice, support, and a sense of community.

As well as providing a space to share experiences, ask questions, and feel seen—especially valuable in a profession where Nannies often work solo.

Then what happens when conversations turn toxic and differing opinions turn into personal attacks, helpful spaces can quickly feel hostile.

The line between respectful disagreement and bullying can sometimes be crossed, especially in emotionally charged discussions.

The ladies consider all of the above and offer insights as to how these forums can be navigated since these online spaces can be invaluable.
