[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been a nanny for 25 years and think mannies are amazing - especially for boys!! I really don’t want to play soccer for 2 hours a day, but typically mannies love that! On the flip side, maybe male nannies don’t want to do pretend play with calico critters or do crafts for hours on end, but that’s perfect for me. I work in Beverly Hills, and [b]it’s super common for families to have male caregivers for their pre and teen boys.[/b] [/quote]

Why would a teen need a babysitter at all? I would say that is extremely uncommon[/quote]

If you saw in my previous post, I work in Beverly Hills. Outsourcing parenting is what people do here. Do you think these SAHMs are going to drive their kids to soccer and volleyball and piano? Cook their own meals? Do their own shopping? No. I currently nanny for 12, 14, 16 year old teens for $42/hr. They pay me 40hrs a week. That’s just how things are done here. If the parents don’t parent their toddlers, it’s pretty unlikely they’re going to parent their teens. [/quote]
