  What do your children call their nanny?  (36 Posts) sunnyshine
Tue 02-Jul-13 12:49:22  I have a friend who has a nanny for her
dd age 4. The child calls her "the nanny" not by her first name.
So  The nanny is picking me up today  The nanny gave me lunch
Is this unusual as I would always have thought it would be first
names?  janey223 Tue 02-Jul-13 12:54:46  Not a nanny nor do I
have one but the nannies I've known have been called 'nanny
name'  janey223 Tue 02-Jul-13 12:55:21  I do ind it odd that she
calls her nanny the nanny though :-/  sunnyshine Tue 02-Jul-13

hmm didn't know if that was the norm though as never known
anyone with a nanny before!!  nannynick Tue 02-Jul-13 13:19:58
The children call me Nick, or before they can say that it sounds
more like Nit!  Cluffyflump Tue 02-Jul-13 13:21:11  It's
objectifying a person a bit. Ime, most children call nannies by
their first name.  skaen Tue 02-Jul-13 14:23:52  My children use
her first nam
