[quote=Anonymous]We have had one of each and each had pros and cons. We have 2 kids, age 4 and 1. I want the nanny to play with them, ride bikes, walk to the neighborhood pool and swim, go to the park, etc., so it seems like a younger nanny would probably be best suited to those needs. On the other hand, in our experience, our younger nanny was reluctant to do light housework (like putting kid's dishes in dishwasher) and she and the other younger nannies we've interviewed are not planning for a long-term position (our current nanny was just waiting to get pregnant herself, apparently). On the flip side, our previous grandmother-type nanny was as sweet as can be and left our house spotless each day, but she was too passive with the kids and wasn't proactive enough or energetic enough to plan activities, outings, etc. Admittedly, my stereo-types are based in my own experiences with our two nannies, but I'm curious to hear from others. Which do you prefer and why? [/quote]
