Feeling strange about nanny

[Anonymous]

I employed a nanny a few months back from Care.com. She has excellent references and worked with children for all her adult life. She has also supervised group settings. Firstly, she is fantastic with my DD's. She is also trustworthy, reliable and kind.
It threw me when I first met her as she is 32 (33 next week) but looks like a teenager still. Even now, I have to work on that as she looks so damn young. I am 37 but she looksmlike she could be my daughter. So, here is my concern. We have got chatting more lately and I asked her if she was married with kids. She said she wasn't but her answer implied that she had always been single which strikes me as odd. She never mentions a social life and still lives at home.
I guess I am worried there is a development problem or something, what with looking so young and being so far back in life. Would you be concerned fellow moms?

Is this even a legitimate posting....??!

Why would you be concerned w/her because she looks so young??
Good genetics + excellent life choices could be the factor at play here.
And these are good factors.

Plus.....There is nothing wrong w/being behind and not being married w/children.
Everyone progresses at a different pace.

I find this post unreal.....

Not really. I had a nanny who still lived at home with her dad, siblings, and sahm, and had never really dated. Our only issues with each other were that she was 1) very critical of my housekeeping skills, and 2) she was very creeped out when DH was home, even if he had worked overnight and was just sleeping upstairs. It was actually enough that we let her go.

Troll. This sad OP has been pulling out this pathetic post for years.

Because she is single she has a development problem? Wow I'm 34 a nanny and single are you worried about me as well. She probably lives at home to save money. Nannies don't exactly make big bucks.

It's super weird that you didn't know who she lived with before you employed her or very shortly afterward. How did this just come up in chatting one day? This isn't someone you should have such a distant relationship with. Are you lady grantham or something?

OP here. No, I am not a troll. I despise that word being thrown around.
Well, it didn't come up in conversation who exactly she lived with. Just that it was family but that was all she said. Further probing meant that I could see who exactly she lived with.
It's just everything put together that makes me worry she has a problem. She is nice enough but it is unheard of to be in her situation at 33 for most people. Justuseems strange.

Can you hook her up with one of your friends from work?

Omg op are you serious!!!

You sound jealous that she looks so young and you at a few years older look old.


I hope your nanny quits and finds a position with a boss who isn't so petty

You are crazy! I hope she realizes that you are nuts and finds another job. I think you are jealous that she is hot and you are not.

It is none of your damn business where, or with whom, she lives. Nannies are employees not your servants and in their off time they can do, and live, wherever they choose. Just like your boss cannot tell you where or with whom you may live!!!!!!!

Yeah, but my boss knows who I live with, and I know who he lives with. I actually know this information about every single one of my co-workers. This is like first conversation basic information. Do you really not know this about important people in your life?

This is weird. Maybe she's saving money for a house and is just a couple years away from paying cash for a condo. Who knows.maybe she was molested as a kid. Maybe she's asexual. Who knows. If you hadn't had this recent conversation you'd never have known.

So you assume she is asexual as she is single at 33? Right.
