The project, 'Twentieth Century Nannies: a history of childcare in the home in England 1900-1980', will explore the interaction and emotional relationship between nannies and families and how this changed over the last centrury.
The study is led by Dr Katherine Holden from the University of the West of England in Bristol. She plans to interview nannies, the children they cared for and their families to find out about their day-to-day experiences, what activities they did together and whether they have continued to stay in touch.
Dr Holden said, 'I would like to speak to women who worked as nannies and young mothers who employed nannies, particularly during the 1930s and 1940s, as this was a significant time of change.'
