Why is talking about nanny obesity, "trying to start a fight"?

For God's sakes, some of you have discussed DB's skid marks.
Why should nanny obesity be off-limits?

No nanny should EVER have to see her employer's skid marks or deal with the employer's dirty laundry. That's just disgusting.

Why did you dig up a 5 plus year old thread?

Have you noticed how parents are still thinking that nannies should do their family laundry?

I am a nanny and athletic- as I meal prep and lift 6 x a week. One of the best nannies I have ever met is overweight or obese( if we are talking body fat percentage). She is absolutely amazing with her charges.. Her MB is one of the most successful CEO out there and did not have the same attitude when looking for someone to watch and nurture her baby. Get a grip,woman. You are just being judgmental. Yikes

I am an overweight nanny and was previously obese (by the BMI standards). I am also the nanny who would take my 2 charges (in a nanny share) out twice a day weather permitting. Running after my kids, taking them to all sorts of activities have never been an issue. I like walking and would take my charges more than a mile away to the zoo and we walked all the way down to the kids farm and back again to the zoo entrance and another mile plus to home.

I say all this to state that employers need to be careful of judgements based on looks. How about you speak to former employers/references and ask pointed questions BEFORE determining that a nanny is unfit based on her size. I may weigh 60 pounds over the 'recommended' weight but I am most likely more active than many skinny nannies.

Currently I care for one year old twins and we go out and enjoy the outdoors as often as its practical to do so.

Also, the suggestion that a smaller sized nanny has healthier eating habits is laughable. From my experience, one's weight/size is often not a good representation of eating habits.

This is a 5 year-old thread that a bored nanny resurrected. MB is long gone.

Why the heck would you post something so nasty. Despite her size I’m sure the nanny candidate would have provided great care for your gold. Unbelievable and illegal
