Product Description

Product Description
The English nanny tradition is as venerable as Big Ben and as distinguished as the House of Lords. Seen as briskly imposing discipline and gently soothing hurts, the English nanny is the ultimate expert on raising happy and well-behaved children. Justine Walsh and Kim Nicholson have been trained in this highly respected tradition, and have been professional nannies for more than a decade. In this book they share the 21st century version of the tradition - updated to include everything that has been learned about childcare and child-rearing in the last half-century or more, and adjusted for today's culture and lifestyle. The book covers developmental and childcare issues from newborn through preschool years. Personal stories will be scattered throughout and sidebar features highlight important tips and advice as well as favourite books, toys and games and even includes child-friendly recipes.

About the Author
Justine Walsh grew up in England and her 15-year career as a nanny has taken her to France, London, and New York, and her success has led to several high-profile positions. Kim Nicholson grew up in Australia, the eldest of four children. After receiving her nanny training in the UK, Kim worked for several families in London. She now lives in New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars Throw all the other books away, 19 Oct 2005
By Sarah Whitewick (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Since this book arrived I've not been able to put it down, the advice is down to earth and easy to follow. Great results are obtained with minimal disruption and effort. Our family life has been changed overnight. I thought I knew it all about looking after babies and bringing up children, now I realize I did'nt.
Thanks for your help Sarah a Mummy, peadiatric nurse and ex Nanny

5.0 out of 5 stars A parent must have !, 14 Nov 2005
Nanny Wisdom is Honest, Funny and a joy to read. I really liked the way the authors tell you without worrying about your feelings what you probably know you should be doing, but have just been avoiding.
It is also great to read about other families going through the same difficulties you are. ( even the rich and famous ones )
I would recommend this as an excellent Christmas gift, your friends can't do without.
