Wealthy American parents are increasingly seeking out nannies from this elite British school

"Norland College in Bath, England is a 133-year-old institution that trains elite nannies for some of the world's wealthiest families, including the British royal family and Mick Jagger's family. Graduates earn about $75,000 straight out of Norland College and up to $170,000 after a decade of experience - roughly triple the US average - according to school records. In addition to royals and rock stars, Norland Nannies are increasingly being sought after by wealthy American parents willing to spend over $100,000 a year for expert childcare."

"The appeal of Norland Nannies goes beyond its long-standing prestige. Norland students have multiple years of training in self-defense, cooking, skidpan driving, neuroscience, child psychology, and cyber safety. They can make homemade sushi and chocolate eclairs, mend a torn shirt, pull a car out of a spin, and fend off an attacker (not all at once)."

"When Roxanne tells people she's studying to be a nanny, people often ask her, "How can you make that something sustainable?" she told Business Insider's Robert Leslie. However, Roxanne, from New Orleans, isn't studying to be just any nanny. Indeed, nannies in the US earn, on average, $49,000 a year, according to ZipRecruiter. Norland Nannies, however, earn significantly more."

Norland College will graduate its first American class in 2026 to meet growing demand from wealthy U.S. parents for elite nannies. Norland-trained nannies earn about $75,000 upon graduation and can reach $170,000 with experience, far above the U.S. nanny average of roughly $49,000. Wealthy families, including royals and celebrities, increasingly pay over $100,000 a year for Norland expertise. Training spans multiple years and includes self-defense, cooking, skidpan driving, neuroscience, child psychology, and cyber safety, producing caregivers with high-level practical, safety, and childcare skills.
