Jordan said: 'I wanted to become a Norland Nanny mainly because I enjoy working with children.
'I don't really feel like it's a job because it's so much fun most of the time.'

It also trains its students - known as 'Norlanders' when they graduate - how to work with families, develop a child's maths skills and become a whizz in the kitchen and teach a child not only how to cook, but how to cook healthy meals.
Along with the traditional skills of cooking, sewing and first aid, new subjects on the curriculum include Taekwondo, self defence, skidpan driving - and escaping from paparazzi.
In the second year of the course, students learn from a stunt driver on the Castle Combe Racing Circuit in Wiltshire who prepares them for all kinds of situations, from icy roads to potential kidnappers or paparazzi.
