Did anyone see that documentary on ITV on Wednesday night about nannies from hell. Oh my god I wanted to go down to their head office and shake them by their suit collars.
Of course they picked the worst bunch of nannies they could find and bunched us all into the same group.
For those who didn't see it these nannies came in drunk to work, slept with their bosses husbands, charged parents for food items they didn't really buy and sat around watching tv all day with the subtitles on.
It makes us all sound like half wits and slackers and hopefully any sane parents out there would realise it was all about sensationalism and not a true professional nanny's character.
It's hard enough at the moment to find a nanny job and to convince the parents to trust you with their children, without having these idiots worry parents unneccessarily. I'm sure some nannies are like that but they are in the small minority and most of us respect our bosses, work places and role in the family.
The flip side of it is that it was all 'oh poor parents, these awful nannies' nothing was said about the trials that nannies have to put up with. I bet every nanny out there has a list of unreasonable demands parents have made, things they've had to put up with and jobs from hell.
If there are any tv producers reading this then please by all means contact me as between myself and my nanny circle we could fill up a 3 hour programme or even a series.
