Could you tell me all about it? I’m drowning with 2 under 5 and horses at home, especially when on business travel 🤯

It sounds like you aspire to a lifestyle that you can't afford. Ditch the horses or ditch the children.

One of our mates at pony club has this arrangement, she's a nanny first and foremost but does pony care too when required and can drive the horsebox. She has her own horses.

Would be a perfect job for my teenage daughter in the summer or once she leave school. She's been working on yards since she was little, has and competes on her own ponies and she's very responsible and reliable.

I think this sums it up - would a horsey 16/18 year old realistically also be able to be a nanny to children of (guessing as it's most typical) 2 and 4?
XelaM, I'm not suggesting your daughter won't be able to, but if she is experienced and qualified in childcare as well as being able to run a yard, it sounds as if she'd be able to charge whatever she likes!

I’m in the North West, have no formal childcare or horse qualifications but experience in both (my own horse and bought up 4 children), and have a PhD in psychology, so educated. How much do you think someone would pay me for this nanny/ groom role? I fancy a career change. Anything over £65k and I’m in.
