[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Believe it or not, my wife, an African-American, has never been (openly) mistaken for the nanny of our 8 year old who looks white, has green eyes and brown hair with blond highlights. We live in DC. Clearly there is something in the way she carries herself and interacts with dd that communicates a parent-child relationship. I'm sure there's some study that has been done on how parents vs caregivers interact with relation to subtle differences in eye contact, touch, tone of voice, etc. [/quote] I like to think I 'carry myself' well. However, I am AA and my DD is biracial. I get asked if I am the nanny all the time. Mostly by other AA or African nannies. [/quote]
