By George, Osipi, I couldn't have put it any better...but fingers crossed, someone considerably younger than Jesse Webb.
Jesse might make a fine occasional sitter, someone to fill in if nanny-in-chief comes down with the flu, but the main hired caregiver will hopefully be young, vigorous, intelligent and agreeable to all.--I said hired to distinguish her from Will and Kate, whom I hope will be far more hands-on than any of their predecessors.
This business of the need for a nanny might be hard for Kate to swallow since she was raised by her Mum and Dad. It thus seems to me that whoever is hired must be someone Kate trusts, instinctively.
At the risk of annoying members on this board, IMO, neither Diana nor Charles were particularly good parents, for the simple reason that neither had experienced good parenting...nor has William. But Kate has; hence I hope that Kate will have the last word, when it comes to hiring a nanny, for the sake of both George and the monarchy.
It would be utterly delightful to have a future king who is not dysfunctional. And it would be a first, IMO. That is what Kate brings to the table, if allowed.
