Brenda Ashford

Opis

Brenda Ashford was a real-life Mary Poppins. Caring for over one hundred children during her lifetime as a nanny, her charges ranged from the pampered sons and daughters of grand estates or the tough offspring of WWII evacuees in London s East End. Now, in A Spoonful of Sugar, Britain s longest-serving nanny shares her endearing, amusing, and sometimes downright bizarre experiences turning generations of children into successful adults.
Nanny Brenda says:

All mothers are quite brilliant in my eyes and nine times out of ten don t realize the sacrifices they undertake or the powerful contributions they make.
Little folk deserve a childhood that s full of fun. It s the single most valuable lesson in my eyes.
Everyone knows you simply can t retire from love. Children leave you; you don t leave children. That s the natural order of things.
I have puzzled many times over the ingredients for a perfect recipe for a happy home. It needs to be a place with parents who worship their offspring. Throw in some stability, a dash of routine, and respect.
