We have a part-time nanny who does a few afternoons a week. We have a nursery.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to babysit a lot, and I used to be a nanny.
I have a great husband, great parents and in-laws, and I have help with a nanny. It's not easy, but there are others who do it every day and don't have a high-profile job as I do.
My mum had four kids on her own, so if I had one kid with one nanny and not a full-time job, it would be a joke. And I think the impossible happens when you leave your kids. I've seen so many nannies in the park on their phones, and the kids are running off.
I'm not quite sure how I would do babysitting.
Most nanny-state initiatives begin on a local level.
I was more of the kind of babysitter that liked holding the baby, sort of playing Mom, and then putting the baby to bed and watching TV while eating everything in their kitchen.
I had two children. I had a nanny to manage my kids.
I have a little kitchen office at home, where I do all my kids' stuff.
I'm taking care of the children, doing a bit of cooking and trying to do a bit of DIY around the house. But that's not going too well.
I don't have a nanny. I have a chef, and I have my assistant, and that's it. I do it myself. You know, those hours with your child are really important ones, even if it's just the two of you, being quiet in the car together.
