Nannies - What do you call the children you look after??

[CourtneyA]

Am just being curious what you call the children you look after when talking to others who dont know them etc?

I refer to the children in my care as 'my charge'.

My charges. Although a lot of people don't know that term!

varies

my kiddiwinks, DT, bubs

rarely call them my charges tbh

My charge/the boy I look after

'My Charge' seems too harsh. I was discussing this with my employer the other day and she agreed with me.

I just say 'the girls i look after'

My charges. If I'm talking about them individually I'll user the first letter of their name or their first name depending on who I am taking too.

Depends on the circumstances, the children for whom I nanny, maybe used on occasion.
