has to watch all the Royal kids even though Prince William the heir to the throne and his gorgeous wife the Duchess of Cambridge could have hired many nannies to take care of their three beautiful kids they have only one her name is Maria Barela and she is of course a Norland College graduate she started fulfilling her duties in the royal palace when Prince George was just 8 months old and she

royal nanny must be able to keep secrets everybody wants to know more about the royal family and their everyday life behind closed doors as you can probably imagine there's nothing worse than having a talkative nanny in this environment the rules here are just as strict as with everything else there should be no rumors roaming around the royal family that's the reason why you won't find a royal nanny on any social media you won't read an interview with her in a magazine or see her dishing on her employers on TV either all these details are talked about before him and when being hired a nanny

punishment on a child it's strictly forbidden even to grab a child's hand and that's the best approach you can take when taking care of a child little kids understand everything on a subconscious level and the atmosphere in which they spend their childhood stays with them for the rest of their lives spanking only shows a child that violence is a good way of dealing with your problems and getting your way do you really want to send such signals to a child using your words and explaining why something is wrong is much more civil and appropriate number one a royal nanny should never try to replace the parents every child has a special place in their heart for their nanny but no matter how amazing and incredible she is she can never take the parents place and every top babysitter
