I'm going to stick my neck out and say the British have more of a rigid class system in place than the US.

To her credit, the person who ran the ad for the family nanny does spell out just how little time off the person they hire would have and says that the person would be the nanny (or, really, assistant) to the whole family.

I resent your implication, sir.
I'm slutting for 10,000. I'm not proud.
