Nonsense. A 66 year old woman in good shape can keep up with any toddler - even a runner like my DD. I have seen overweight 20 something’s that I know couldn’t keep up with my DD. Our nanny is 60 and can literally run circles around me!

We all have the freedom to hire who we think is best. I think someone of that age is not best.

You are an ageist - it is a form of prejudice just like any other. There are lots of choices in hiring a nanny but race, religion and age should never be a consideration.

You know what? If my six year old had a 66 year-old teacher at school I wouldn't blink an eye. But in my home, which is a third story walk up, while carrying a sleeping toddler? Yes, I'm not going to pick the 66 year old for that.

You should see our 63 year old nanny!

66 is the new 36.

Yeah, It's probably going to be an issue, especially for families that are planning for multiple kids.
