I bought a star for my goddaughter and for 2 older children for their confirmation. They come in different priced packages so it needn't be too expensive. You get to name the star and recieve a certificate with the stars co-ordinates and a little map with the star marked on it. Its something different!

I've been a nanny for 16 years with several families. As a live in-nanny I would expect to work a 12 hour day as there is no travelling involved and one of my jobs was actually 7am till 7.30pm! As a live out nanny at the moment I work a 10 hour day which seems to be the norm with other nannies that I know. All jobs are different and hours and wages are something you can discuss right from the start. You should be asking for copies of any certificates they have - college or first aid etc and references that you can check out. Hope that helps a little! Good luck!

I'm a nanny and a little girl I used to look after did exactly the same as your little girl. She was probably 3 or 4 months younger at the time but had been using the loo for everything and then started doing poos in her knickers. We found that sometimes she was unaware that it had happened - she was so busy playing and having fun that it didn't seem to bother her that she had poo in her knickers!! After handling with kid gloves, getting cross, ignoring and just changing her, and all failed to make a difference we went down the smartie reward route. She was definitely reward driven and an instant chocolate was a good way to go. We also bought new knickers with her favourite character on them. She could pick a pair to wear in the morning but if she had an accident in them then she had to choose an old pair to wear and we made a huge deal of 'peppa' or whoever it may be being very sad about being poo'd on! We also asked every half hour or so if she needed a poo and reminded her of a smartie and not upseting 'peppa'. After a week or so she seemed to really get the hang of it again and everything settled down. Hopefully your little one will get back on track soon. Good luck!!
