Princess Catherine’s nanny, Maria Teresa Tyrian Borlo, started working for the royal family in 2014 when Prince George was just eight months old. A decade later, she is still helping William and Catherine raise their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Although the children attend Lambrook School during the week, Maria balances their after-school activities with their homework.

As the children get older and start school, the nanny’s responsibilities will increase, not decrease. Organization is essential to scheduling school pick-ups and ensuring they have healthy breakfasts and appropriate clothing. Nannies must also ensure that clothes fit properly and are properly labelled. Preparing nutritious dinners and managing each child’s individual needs are key aspects of the job. Planning engaging activities that suit each child’s personality is essential to keeping them engaged in learning.

Maria wakes up early at 5:30 a.m. and starts her day quietly, getting dressed in her traditional Norland uniform. By 6:00 a.m., she begins planning the children's schedules. After waking the children around 6:30 a.m., she guides them through breakfast, emphasizing manners and discussing their plans for the day. Each child has a specific routine, with Maria overseeing their preparation. At 8:00 a.m., George heads to his prestigious school while Maria focuses on Charlotte and Louis.

She takes Charlotte to ballet class and supervises Louis during story time, nurturing their love of reading. Maria organizes playdates for Louis and ensures a safe environment for all the children. After lunch, Maria helps Louis take a nap and prepares him for afternoon activities. When George returns from school, she assists with his soccer practice while nurturing Charlotte's artistic talents. Evenings include tea time, cleaning and dinner, followed by a cherished bedtime routine with stories.

At the end of the day, Maria reflects on the children’s progress, updates their diaries and ensures their emotional development. More than just a nanny, she is also a confidant and educator, instilling values ​​of respect and curiosity in the Royal children. Despite the demanding nature of the job, she finds great joy and satisfaction in making a positive difference in their lives.
