Episode 1: Lydia Weston, a farm girl from Devon, is hired by Lord George and Lady Constance Lamson-Scribener after her local vicar asks for their help to find a suitable position. Lady Lamson-Scribener is concerned about the ageing Nanny Collins's abilities and hires Lydia to assist her, after learning that she helped her mother raise eleven children. Hannah Randall is a young Irishwoman who comes to London from Yorkshire with her illegitimate son, Billy, after the child's father dies in an accident. In London, she finds a room in Limehouse, and her landlady offers to watch Billy while Hannah looks for work. She meets Lydia, who tells her of a position as a nursemaid with the Hutchinsons. When she is hired, Mrs. Bronowski suggests that she look after Billy for sixpence a week. Matty Wickham, head nanny in the home of Arnold and Victoria St. John, clashes with Pringle, the nursery maid, Keegan, the footman, the housekeeper, Mrs. McClusky, and Cook over Pringle's duties and the nursery meals.
