Unfortunately no. The ladies in waiting were sorta at work, tending to the Queen. It would be rude to have children running around a Monarch's bedroom. Because of their title, they were the queen's favorites...they had the money to afford nannies and teachers...the kids were pretty darn occupied with them.
One of Queen Elizabeth I's ladies in waiting who was reportedly seduced by Sir Walter Ralegh (Raleigh). The ladies in waiting could not marry without the Queen's permission. Sir Walter Ralegh was a favorite of the Queen, so she would not have wanted one of her ladies to marry him. Ralegh was imprisoned in the Tower, where he married Throgmorten (either at the Tower or before).

Notable among them were Lady Margaret Beaufort, her cousin, and Lady Elizabeth Grey. These ladies provided companionship, support, and service at court, fulfilling both social and ceremonial roles.
