do you think some of your previous charges would live a more emotionally secure life at boarding school?
Most of the families I've worked for have had the Mum be SAHM, so the idea of the kids going to boarding school whilst a parent is home full time seems bizarre to me. However I do think that boarding school offers stability to children who may not have it at home for whatever reason.
and what age do you think is best for boarding esp as UK accepts children from 6yrs on?
I think it highly depends on the children. I'm inclined to say that a 6 year old is probably more likely to cope with boarding school than an 11 year old, for example, as they tend to be more adaptable at that age. Some children really flourish at boarding schools and seem are just not the right personality so it's difficult to say.
You mentioned earlier the amount of people who claim to have ocd on cleanliness I wonder if that's the shame reason, micro management with nothing else to do I think in a lot of cases this is true.
What are the houses like inside? Is everything perfect (no chipped skirting boards). Are they super luxurious, or OTT?
Absolutely. I've never been in a house where everything hasn't been like a show home. They don't look lived in at all. My last job I had fun counting all of the chandeliers (23) and they had an indoor water fountain on the ground floor running through the walls and floor and a large fountain in their bedroom.
Are you still shocked by the level of wealth some families have? Not whilst at work. If I ever take an extended break then I get a bit 
but I generally just plow on, if I start thinking about how much money they have it generally just breeds resentment which benefits no one.
Do any of them breast feed or use donated milk
I've never known a family use donated milk, I'd say its roughly 50/50 between breast milk and formula, and all the Mum's that breastfed expressed rather than directly fed. This could just be a coincidence.
What’s the best material perk/bonus/gift you’ve received from an employer? Getting to use one of the saunas every day! Did wonders for my skin!
Also are you allowed/do you call your charges darling/sweetie etc, or is it a more formal kind of relationship? All my roles I call the kids by their first name and generally a silly nickname I have for them, I find it helps with bonding. I always tell them to call me by my name, not Aunty Another or Miss CareerThread.
what happens with the care of the children when you clock off??
They're typically asleep or there's a rota nanny.
do these wealthy parents spend a reasonable amount of time with their children?? Depends on the family. About an hour a day (with the nanny present) has been about average in my experience.
what do these women do with themselves all day?? shopping, beauty treatments, socialising mainly.
I though nannies tended to stay with their families for years? Varies like any job. My experience (and that of my nanny friends) has always been high turnover - this is more common than staying years and years.
Why do the wives choose not to work? Is it their husbands who insist on this or the wives preference? In the Middle East it is the culture for the woman to manage the home once she is married. I think its a Western culture for the woman not to work if she doesn't need to tbh. Again, I think its a personal choice with each family though.
Do you save most of your earnings? Do you plan to retire at 40ish for instance? Yes because I could be fired at any moment, so I'm never comfortable spending money. I plan to semi-retire at 30.
Do you ever have to wear a uniform? And does that bother you? No, not that common as a Nanny or Governess, though the last job I had I was the only member of staff without uniform. I wouldn't really mind, saves me having to choose my clothes, but I've never had to.
