Welcome to ASK NANNY™, where help and advice has been consistently offered to parents, nannies, carers and anyone else involved in looking after children since early 2002. Let me introduce myself. I am Nanny Trudi Butler and I am a fully qualified Norland Nanny with 21 years of childcare experience. I have worked with many families over the years and I am also a mother so I truly understand how it feels to be a parent!

Here at Ask Nanny we believe that kind, patient and respectful parenting creates confident, thoughtful, well behaved children. Parenting shouldn’t dominate or control children. Most important to good parenting is love, communication, role modeling and sensible boundaries. The Ask Nanny approach is not a quick fix, one-size-fits-all solution to get children to “behave” or “do as they’re told”. It is about understanding children and teaching them about life. Gone are the days when children were required to be seen and not heard. Nowadays we believe all children are individuals with thoughts and feelings which should be listened to and understood. Children are important and valuable and need to be parented with respect. 

Do you feel like a broken record? Do you feel like you have to repeat yourself a thousand times and still no-one listens? Do you wonder how on earth you can solve the problems you’re going through with your child and still respect them as individuals? Do you want to improve your relationship with your child and gain a better understanding of why they do the things they do? Well I can help you do just that. There are many ways I can help you including one-on-one support so take a look at the services page for more information.
