Text A

The Nanny

Amanda Peniston-Bird, 21, is the daughter of a judge and has just completed a two-year training course at the Norland Nursery Training College. She is going to be a nanny.

Amanda

My sister Charlotte was born when I was seven and my mother decided she needed a nanny to look after us. So we got Alison. She was very young, seventeen I think, and wonderful. I adored her.

 

When Alison left, we had a trained nanny who lived with us and worked full-time. She was older and quite traditional and wore a uniform. It was then that I realized that I wanted to be a nanny. I have always got on well with children. I have always enjoyed taking care of my sister and younger cousins. I told Mummy very firmly that I wanted to be a nanny when I grew up. But when it came to entering the college, there were some terrible rows.

 

After school I started my training course as a future nanny at Norland College. Mummy and Daddy weren't angry for long, we made it up before I went to college. I think they’ll always encourage me as they are doing now.

Amanda's mother

Her father is still a bit disappointed that she didn't take after him and study law, but I think we're both proud, and also pleased, that she has made her own decisions in life and done so well. We have brought her up to be an independent thinker, so we can't complain. Everything has turned out for the best. We believe that this work will bring our daughter satisfaction in the future.

Notes: a row - скандал
