Riding high

Horses come with the territory for a band of nannies who want to stay in the riding habit, as Helen Kewley finds Sometimes nannies leave the profession because they find that the long working hours prevent them from establishing hobbies or having a life outside work. These are often the most capable people who could tackle any job brilliantly. So I was very glad to talk to Amanda Howse, a qualified and very experienced nanny, who has managed to combine her live-in childcare positions with her love of horses.
