Despite becoming a mother in the years after founding Imperial Nannies in 1996, I have continued to live a full and varied life. Hiring the perfect staff at every stage means I have never had to miss out on the things I love, such as riding and skiing, interior design and cooking for friends. Like most parents, I find that I’m constantly trying to keep up with modern family life in the city and by having the right support I am able to do so.
