Personality
Bertram is the Ross family's lazy and grouchy butler, who seems to care very little for the kids and calls them "The Nanny Killers". Even though he rarely shows it, he does have a soft side for them. He seem to like Jessie sometimes, though he sometimes gives her advice, not knowing his intentions and mistakens where she is from. Bertram often takes time for himself and wishes he could quit his job, but doesn't. He spends his time cleaning, reading magazines on the couch, watching TV in the screening room, and eating bacon-wrapped donuts. The Ross kids insult him sometimes when he tries to help them and they make fun of his weigh. When their parents are home he pays extra attention to his job.

Background
Not much is known about Bertram's background. He is shown to be an old, lazy and grumpy man. He revealed that didn't have many friends when he was a kid, and some kids made fun of him because he didn't know how to ride a bike, because each time he tried, he fell.
