[quote=Anonymous]Every nanny is different, but I much prefer our younger (27) nanny than the late-40s nanny we had for the first 1.5 years of parenthood. I hired her because I was an inexperienced new mom and thought I wanted "experience" and "maternal instincts," but all that meant was she thought she knew best, scoffed at my direction and ultimately always did her own thing, had to deal with her own children a lot and missed a lot of work, and acted like the boss of our entire home life.

Our young nanny looks to me for direction and is not invested in my child beyond being his wonderful nanny (former one acted like she was his mother and knew best, and was way too attached). She is extremely respectful, responsible and takes her job very seriously. She loves children and wants some of her own some day, so she has wonderful qualities in the childrearing realm.

I would not hire someone younger than, say, 25, only because of maturity, or someone who makes it obvious they don't love kids. But otherwise, I am pro young nanny all the way. [/quote]
