What is a Nanny - for Nannies

A Nanny is:

A carer of children and a carer of families. Nannies become emotionally relevant figures to both children and adults. They will join in to the life of a family in order to make it easier whenever possible, by offering help, energy, thoughts, imagination, information, points of view and support.
A whole person. Spending time with a child helps an adult to become better, happier and more aware version of themselves. Caring for families involves intense emotional labor that needs to be acknowledged by all, so that the emotional health of both carers and charges is ensured.
