NANNY YVONNE
"Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man" - Aristotle
ABOUT ME
The beginning is for another time and place. Born and educated in London, England, I have been in childcare for over 30 years! Live in, live out nanny. I ran my own daycare, trained nannies, mentored nannies, educated nannies and am still a nanny. In 2001 I became an Admissions Director for a private elementary school from its inception. Jump to 2005, unbeknownst to me, my husband put my name forward for open casting call for a nanny to replace an existing nanny on a TV show. I was selected to be one of the stars of the prime time hit show Nanny911. The show was syndicated in over 30 countries and had millions of viewers. For seven years I wrote a parenting column for a leading Boston newspaper as well as appearing live on the local Fox affiliate and NECN answering parenting questions from viewers. My favorite was being made fun of on South Park, Mad magazine and a cameo in The Game Plan with Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson! I am still in the childcare profession and take my job very seriously. I learnt from the best, my brother David.
