Sharon Bastien launched Flying Tots when she faced the challenge offinding a nanny who could live-in only on the days when her job took heraway on long-haul trips.
Three or four times a month Ms Bastien's other role as specialist cabincrew for VIPs would take her as far afield as Hong Kong for several daysat a time. Childcare became even more difficult when she became a singleparent.
Ms Bastien told Nursery World, 'I only wanted a live-in nanny until Icame home. I needed someone to follow my shift pattern.'
She added, 'BA is a good employer who encourages staff to combine workand family life, and has schemes to enable staff to continue working.Thanks to them I still work as a loyal cabin crew member.'
