Description
Jenny starts her training as a nanny, but does she have what it takes – and will her family survive without her?
It is 1962 and 17-year-old Jenny is finally able to train for her dream job as a nanny. The residential training is tough – Matron takes no prisoners but Jenny bonds with her two roommates, Bernice and Rita, and loves helping the children.
If only her family life could be so happy – her brother, Maurice, is a wrong'un and seems to have some hold over her father, and Jenny has never got over the sudden disappearance of her mother.
Finally, Jenny gets her first nanny job, heading for the bright lights of London at the dawn of the Swinging Sixties. Suddenly she is thrust into the lifestyle of the rich at a household in the affluent West End, working for a family whose busy lifestyle means that their child is neglected.
Can Jenny heal their family - and her own?

After reading this I can tell that this is going to be a good series. It has drama and the relationships between the girls shows a delicate camaraderie. I loved the children they are just the sweetest and my heart instantly warmed to them and their plights. I enjoyed how Jenny unknowingly paid her brother back.lol. The book was a joy to read.

oh Pam Weaver we do love you. i thank your talent and your little gifts of stories every single day. and here we have another gift in the form of this book and story. every time i get to read one of Pam's books i smile. i know im in the best hands, i know i shall love it, and i know ill come away somehow feeling better.
this had all the things we want from a book like this. the heart, the emotions, the plot and pacing. it was all woven together in exactly the right ways.
we've also got the family saga vibe.
we of course have that main character or set of who we fall in love with reading about.
and then the side characters we also love getting to know whether they are good or bad!
there are tense moments and moments you feel more heightened.
there are those soft, tender and gentle moments.
there is the snippets into the lives of the characters that are just written so well.
there is the story, a great one to get immersed into.
another fab book. you didn't really need to ask whether it would be did you? its Pam!

It's their dream job ,
But do they have what it takes.
1962
And Jenny Lamar takes on her nanny training at Harefield House.
A had going training that involves more than looking after the children with household chores to do.
As we go through the years known as the swinging sixties every chapter has a well known song as it heading that brings back memories.
I loved reading this story and hopefully will get more about the nannies in future books.
