Which tests will the future nannies of royal children be required to pass?

A royal nanny has to have excellent self-defense skills, be able to give first aid, know basics of psychology, and learn extreme driving. It sure sounds like the set of skills necessary for a special agent. However, these job requirements are actually the basic skills a nanny needs to possess to be able to work for the British royal family.

Where they study

It is not enough just to love kids to become a royal babysitter. These nannies graduate from the prestigious Norland College, not accessible to everyone. Enrollee have to be in good physical condition and have an unblemished biography. They should also speak English perfectly. As part of their studies, they are taught psychology, history, philosophy, sociology, and literature.

Preliminary practice

During these studies, the future nannies practice on robot-kids, as no nurse can take care of a royal child before taking care of an electronic baby. These robotized babies are capable of waking the future nanny in the middle of the night, and ask for food or attention. The students must not ignore these needs.

The nanny is also a bodyguard

A nanny needs to protect herself and the baby. This is why the girls take self-defense lessons taught by former officers and military intelligence personnel. As a part of the last course of the 3-year-program, the also learn medical first aid.

A perfect driver

A royal nanny has to be able to drive perfectly. The child should be completely safe with her, so the nannies are taught extreme driving. By the end of this interesting course, the girls are able to drive a car in the most severe conditions.

The chief nanny in the palace

Prince William and Kate Middleton did not hire many nannies for their three kids. Maria Borrallo is solely responsible for all three. She graduated from Norland College 20 years ago, after which she started fulfilling duties in the palace when George was 8 months old. She works for the family.

The royal family is her only family

The royal nanny becomes a part of the family, and escorts the kids everywhere, even at important celebrations and traveling. She also lives near the kids she looks after. According to the letters of June Waller, the nanny who took care of Elizabeth II’s third son Andrew, her work day finished at 8:30 PM, before which she was not allowed to even talk on the phone. These kind of rules were in practice in the 1960s.

She can keep secrets

The subjects of the monarch are quite interested in the royal family, and observe and experience many details from the lives of dukes and duchesses. No rumors in the palaces should be spreading, which is why royal nannies do not have a presence on social media, and no interviews are present in any magazine. Before being hired, the nanny signs a document promising to maintain utmost confidentiality.

A royal nanny will never spank a child

Spanking kids is strictly forbidden for the nannies, and we do not just mean the royal ones. Only Norland College however promises that their alumni will never impose corporal punishment on the children. It is not even allowed to grab a child’s hand.

A nanny does not replace parents

Even the top nannies have to know and remember that the parents are the most important people for the children, and that is why they will never try to replace them. Norland College recommend to their students to encourage and involve parents in bathing the children and putting them to bed.
