[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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”.   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.[/b]  [/quote]

agree completely. all these people basically saying 'good for her because she knows what she wants and is willing to pay for it' astound me. I find the whole thing reeking of uber privilege and obnoxiousness. [/quote]

Nannies are the top tier for childcare.  I’m confused about how the post “reeking of uber privilege” is in any way different as compared to the typical family hiring a very qualified top tier nanny.[/quote]

Really?  I never asked our nannies at what level they could ski, if they were good open water swimmers, and whether they'd mind planning all of our vacations in their down time.[/quote]

You don’t have a top-tier nanny, nor do you need one.[/quote]
