[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one off-putting aspect is the “all-in-one” bit.   Super-athletic, which implies young, but also the knowledge to meal plan with some extreme restrictions, which is a skill that takes some life experience to develop, and travel planning around the globe, which again is a life skill that few people have during the time they’re young enough to be advanced skiers and “river swimmers”.   [b]And the person should have no further ambition for themself than to be someone’s nanny for a few years, and are presumably unencumbered by a family if their own.  [/b]The combination of everything is what’s ridiculous.  [/quote]
 
This is why this model works when the care giver is a parent. What this person is trying to do is outsource being a parent. Even with all of the outsourcing she has done throughput with her kids, in the end, the mental and emotional needs of the children has grown not lessened with their age. She wants a rich and  educated SAHM of DCUM.

+1 If you read the second article, she’s really hung up on „must love me and my children“. She wants to pay someone to be her wife. Like a straight, nonsexual partner who is highly educated and stays at home with the kids. It’s weird, sure, but more of a sign of modern times. It actually reads a lot like she chose to be a single parent and is kind of outsourcing the other parent role.[/quote]
