I trained at Norland from 1983-1985 when the college was in Berkshire. For many years, I considered these years the best of my life. Many friendships made then have survived all this time!! My starting salary was £80 cash in hand a week, working in Notting Hill, but my employer was absolutely horrible to me. I went on to work for many other families in London and was asked to be godmother to one of my charges. She is now 32 and she’s coming to stay with me next weekend 🥰 I have two grown up daughters and am now working as a teaching assistant at a local primary school in the New Forest.

I actually think every person who wants to become a parent should have to take a course like this, so they know what taking care of children actually means. Besides you would learn many skills, like cooking, sewing, cleaning, and actually taking care of a baby.

[@tealeafs3824]

You are right! Today I was talking to my mom how in the old days women were taught manners, how to dress, walk on heels, art of conversation, foreign languages and so more! They were preparing for marriage and family life. Today many women are terrified to start a family (including myself), and we forgot to be feminine. Women acting like dudes...

[@goretebatistasilva1749]

I totally agree. I wish I had this kind of training to take care of my own daughter who now is 24 years old.

[@maryburger1232]

This has NOTHING to do with taking care of kids, these are overpriced bodyguards for rich kids ! The course costs £ 21 000 so WHO is going to pay for your stupid idea ?

[@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697]

Your comment presumes that the parent doesn’t know any of this beforehand. My mother had all of those skills and many others well before she became a mother at 22 years old. And not every parent has photographers following them everywhere, or needs to know defensive driving, or would require a nanny to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

[@onoonoonion]

@@tealeafs3824 There's nothing wrong with women acting like dudes, on the contrary we need to teach dudes to act more like women, because taking care of babies is not women's job only, men also need to share responsibilities in parenting. In fact men need a course like this more than women.

Not to say neither were shining examples of these skills but my husband has certainly after retiring got better with cooking and enjoys fixing a good meal. Parents need to let kids help during that time little ones are wanting to imitate Mom and Dad and give them little jobs in the home to do. It might not be perfect, but they learn!

It would be a wonderful reality show series if we were able to follow these new nannies into their jobs and see them at work with the children and the families..

We actually had these electronic babies at my highschool. You would see the students taking the health class walk around with their babies on campus and then sometimes have to step out of class because their baby wouldn't stop crying. Also, we didn't have the bracelets on our wrists but everything else was about the same. The sensors on the baby's body, the diapers, and milk bottles. We also had to keep a diary on the baby and the times it would cry. By the end of the project, the teacher would turn off the babies and then grade us based on the data recorded on the babies. However, one student wasn't aware that the teacher had to manually turn them off. He assumed that the baby would automatically turn off, so when he came to the class, he dropped the baby on the floor and said, "I'm done thank god". And then the baby let out the most peircing scream ever and died💀So yeah, he killed his baby right before the project ended and he got an F. Because our teacher said that whoever kills their baby gets an automatic F. Poor dude.

[@Kittenheelxoxo]

Why would he just drop the baby 😭

[@Sunnyflowerpuppy]

My middle school had those electronic babies as well. They had two versions of them, one has the silver little button that you stick into the baby's back and sooth them gently by holding your wrist in position and gently rock/bounce them until they are fully relaxed and asleep, while the other requires a use of the key to stick into the baby and turn them while doing the same thing. The silver button version is newer and has a bracelet much like you see by the nannies in training in the video. They key version is older and have a strap that attaches the key to your wrist. Both babies record what you have done to the babies and how long they have been crying, and the teacher uploads the data to the computer and grade the students at the end of the project. I don't remember if we ever did a diary as a part of the project. We were given a baby carrier that we strap onto our bodies to help carry the baby among other things. There is this one boy who thought that the whole project was a joke and just locked his baby in his closet for the entire project except for when he needs to go to school. When we and our regular teacher sees him holding the baby over his shoulder like he is holding a sweatshirt, she wasn't happy and tried to explain to him that he shouldn't carry a baby like that. On the day that the project is done and the boy turns in his baby, the baby had recorded that he had never taken care of the baby and just let it cry for "hours" on end. The baby had recorded 45 minutes of crying. Meanwhile mine and other people who tried to carry on the project properly had recorded around 7-10 minutes throughout the project like what the nannies in training in the video had recorded. The health teacher who handed us the project had a serious talk with the boy and she spoke loud enough for us to hear what she had been saying. It appears that the electronic babies are programed to stop crying if they haven't gotten any form attention for several minutes. This was over 15 years ago, I hope that the boy in my class never have children.

[@quietandquiet4246]

@@Sunnyflowerpuppy Our school's babies would also stop crying after a certain period of time passed. However sometimes they would malfunction so the teacher would reboot them and not count it against you. But because of that, when sports events would come up, the "parents" either couldn't participate or had to find babysitters who could help them out. To give an idea of how stressful that was, I ended up babysitting 5-6 babies at once while their parents participated in school events💀🫠The moment one finished crying, the other would start and it was absolute hell.

Long hours yes but the mom relieved me once in so I had some free time. I got a job description and I worked with it. Followed their instructions and it was good.

It’s so funny! I nannied in England for 4 years and I wasn’t a Norland Nanny just an Aussie girl who had done childcare courses at technical college, but I had to be cpr/ first aid certified. Aussie nannies were really popular at one point because we weren’t seen as “stuffy” and were willing to get grubby and play with the kids. I can definitely see why Norland Nannie’s are popular with the rich and famous though- amazing training!

[@katel7309]

but you can go and get skills yourself. A Nanny is a surrogate parent you don't need high level childcare education. You would need to learn practical skills using prams car seats, and maybe skills and understanding with babies I agree, you could create a good nanny course to do in a year with a 6 month practical. If I was rich etc I would ask the girl to wear normal clothes and get rid of the uniform we are not in the early 20th century anymore

A childcare worker who graduated with a certificate from a technical college might earn a baseline salary mid-level wages. These guys can command top dollar, especially when they have some experience and the parents will pay it because they can be assured the nanny knows what they are doing. It will be up to the individual client as to whether the girl wears the uniform when on the job.

In Singapore a lot of families have a Filipino maid. Wealthy and middle class families can easily afford it since It cost around $400 SGD a month (this was back in 2012). It was certainly a status symbol, as well as having a stay at home wife (who doesn’t lift a finger). The helpers were expected to do all cooking, house chores, baby sitting and nurse duties for older relatives living in the same house. The only day they had off was Sunday. One day the whole island nation took a vote as to whether the maids should be allowed to have Sunday off. The vote did not pass. My friend was very angry because she did not enjoy having to turn her own grandmother over in bed every few hours on Sundays since she was bedridden. She felt it was beneath her. A lot of Singaporeans were raised by their helpers since their parents had a hands off approach. Some of the helpers let the kids pee on the side of the playground or were too busy socializing to keep them from running into the street. There are always good ones and bad ones. If you’re going to be a nanny, Norland seems to have the best clients / connections and training. The girls seem happy. Would love to see a follow up video to see what it’s like being on the job, and their thoughts a few years down the road…

​@@nandimzanzimaybe I'm not the norm but I graduated from college with a child development degree and elementary ed, married, became a nanny soon after, worked for 4 years fulltime, got pregnant and continued to work through my pregnancy. I then took a few yr break and only worked part time.. I've had health issues... And more health problems and had breast cancer... But I've worked my butt of no matter the situation. I pick and choose the positions that fit my life... The same as any other person does. At the end of the day, it is still just a career and a position is still just a job that you can leave if it's not working as with any other employment choice. I've worked for some nightmare families [aka parents] and I stuck it out as long as I could for the kids, but when it was a good time, I tapped out and found another position. I've managed to more than double my salary in 16yrs. Last wk, I worked _one_ extra long 16hr day and made the amt I did in one fulltime week at 24. I have managed that inspite of my health problems just like any other person could. You don't have to be a live in nanny or be available 24/7. Even live in nannies have freetime.. Many are "off" from say 7pm-8am or whatever and get at least a day off over the weekend. Can you go out and come home smashed? No.. Do you need to? Not technically. If you get off at 7 and are going out for the evening and don't have to work again until the at some pt next day or day after, you could likely stay with a friend. It's very often a "don't let us or the children find you in any uncompromising positions.. A bit like high-school for many people." While I agree that most nannies don't remain one forever.. it's really not even _close_ to impossible. I love my career.. It's what I decided I wanted to do at 14.. I still got a degree in elementary Ed, but I never plan[ned] to use. I married, I have a 10yo son, I have had many crazy things happen to me since I became a nanny 16yrs ago. Have I thought at times what life would have been like if I'd chosen a different path? Sure.. We all wonder "what if?".. In the end though.. I absolutely love my career and have never felt otherwise.

I had a nanny as a very little girl, since my parents both worked. I still call her often- she was absolutely wonderful!!

[@heatherhillman1]

Having had 3 of my own, I can honestly say that babies are easy. Toddlers on up, on the other hand, are a bit more challenging. The main challenge with babies is the lack of sleep and learning the difference between an "I'm hungry" cry, an "I'm wet" cry and an "I'm bored" cry. I love the driving and self defense training these gals get to have. Still, if you want children of your own, this is a temporary career for them so I hope they make lots of money in the early days.

[@SweetMintPie555]

Very much not a temporary career. many nannies drop down to part time (a highly in demand role) and many families allow them to take their own child to work. Or they switch to being a childminder from their own home. The flexibility is one of the best aspects of nannying and working in childcare.

[@PianoKwanMan]

Babies are easier if you have the time. But, if both parents want to carry on working, a nanny, or the grandparents are the only options available.

[@caitlinweiss8801]

This looks like so much fun! And I remember I had to take a "real life" baby home in 8th grade. They're pretty cool but I'll never forget the sound of that cry, its still exactly the same in this video as it was when I had mine in middle school!

[@galgal2275]

This is not a easy job if you get the wrong parents, by this I mean someone who wants a slave and pays badly but wants you to run the house. I had a mum of two lovely girls under 6 but she was hardly there and when she was off work she would leave me babysitting as much as possible to go find a guy to bring home and screw. I would then have to sneak said man out of the house. You could not have friends around or invite anyone for dinner. She was the most selfish cow I ever had the opportunity to work for. Other parent could be so good to you and treat you like family .This makes it look like a dream job but its very hard work and unless you are a Norland trained nanny living in London the wages are not that great either. One dad who I worked for told his wife that she was giving me to much work to do and said to his wife you would not do that in a day so why are you making the Nanny. You will also find some Mums get jealous of the relationship their child makes with the Nanny if the mum is away all the time. The children with the slaggy mum used to wake in the night and get in my bed for cuddles sometimes saying mummy has her door locked . If you get the dream family this could be a lovely job but lots of times the Nanny will leave because of the hours, Money or treatment they receive.

They had a rotation of 3 nanny's and the mom worked from home 18hrs a wk. Those kids were fortunate to have their nannies.

the funniest thing watching this as an American is how novel they act toward walking with the crosswalk sign. It's so ingrained for many of us to just stand at a crosswalk until the man lights up to walk, that we do it even when there isn't a car to be seen. It's very rare to see anyone crossing a street with a light if it's not a go. I think I stood at one for 2 turns of the light once only because the walking guy never turned on. Just bashed the "I want to cross" button in frustration about wanting my turn. Edit: this also varies by region. I am in the northwest, but have heard jaywalking being as normal in say New York as it is in England. I cannot confirm as I have never visited, but I have been through most all of the western states and while it does happen, it's not a majority of the pedestrians doing so.

[@mehere8038]

Meanwhile in Australia we have the world's best crosswalk button, great big button with a very satisfying clunk sound as you hit it & magnetically attached, so as to withstand being hit as hard & fast & many times as you like & all it will do back at you is beep it's "not time to cross yet" beep, until it's time to cross, at which point it will not only vibrate at you, but also give such a cool "go" beeping noise that it's been put into multiple hit songs, most recent one being Billy Ellish & the go tone is such that it triggers automatic movement in dogs & humans. Yes, people walking their dogs will stop at a crosswalk & as soon as the man turns green, their dog starts pulling on their lead & crossing without even being told to do so & humans do the same thing too, over time leading to a situation where Aussies don't even bother looking at the street, they just wander along on their phones, beeping automatically stops them when they reach any road & then automatically starts them walking again when it's safe to do so & if you set the crosswalk on active only on button press & there's no kids around wanting to play with the button, it's quite common people will just stand there for 5-10 minutes on their phone, without actually even realising what they're doing, they're just SO programed to automatically respond to the beeps that they don't even notice they're doing it or that they've stopped walking. I love sneaking across the crosswalk when clear but red, but without pressing the button when I see people frozen in-situ like that, it's just too funny :) There was also a comment I read recently on one of the Aussie crosswalk button fan videos about 2 guys who travelled overseas & after around 10 minutes of waiting for a crosswalk to change & it never happening, they apparently decided to actually watch the green/red man & very soon after, saw it did change & had been changing repeatedly while they had stood there, but cause it didn't do the beeping, they weren't cued to cross the road & so didn't realise lol they had literally forgotten how to cross a road, cause of being so spoilt in Australia their whole lives! It really is quite hysterical to watch Aussies at crosswalks after watching the crosswalk fan videos & seeing how we act without realising it. I never realised I was doing any of this stuff until seeing these videos & now in real life, I have to just watch other people, cause it's just so funny to realise how automated our stopping & starting at crosswalks has become! & how much we obey the rules, not because we want to, but because the infrastructure in place is automating US!
