nounNorlander (plural Norlanders)

plural Norlanders

  1. A northerner; a person from the north country.
  2. A nanny or childcare specialist educated at Norland College, England (founded 1892).

    The struggle for Norlanders is to be such a modern nanny while still encapsulating the ethos of the institution that, as the uniform alone attests, is undeniably retro.
