My nanny (who is leaving after 4.5 years) told me she doesn't want another nanny job because no other family would be as nice as ours

she says anywhere else wouldn't compare, it would be downhill all the way. so she is going to be a teaching assistant.


probably a pile of crap to make us feel better, but still MOST complimentary!

My nanny said similar but then admitted that my two had put her off toddlers for life!

I thought that too after my first more than perfect family but all positions/children have their very own fabulous qualities!

What a lovely thing to say.

Don't suppose that comment is code for 'I'm running away before PPH starts cracking down on clingy baby and all hell breaks out', is it?

oi NannyL don't puncture my balloon! I've RUINED her for any other nanny job, and don't you forget it

There are so many nice nannies around, I think the profession just attracts nice people
