[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed you can usually tell when someone is "heavy" over the phone, and since I have two young, energetic boy I could not make due with an overweight nanny. So I try to take not of that to avoid wasting each others time. And if I really can't get a feel for it over the phone I usually will just ask. "Are you really athletic?" and if not they will say things like "I'm trying to lose weight" or "I'm trying to get in shape" and so on.[/quote]
I'm an over weight nanny. I'm about 190 I take care of 4 very active boys just fine ages 2, 2, 4 and 5. I keep up with them just fine. We go swimming, jump on the trampoline ect. Just because a nanny isn't in shape shouldn't be a reason to not hire. Now if she was 250 plus that is different in terms of actual mobility.[/quote]

Well to be fair I didn't mean overweight as in "not super model perfect". So if 190 is good enough to hang with active kids then so be it, I was going with the second thing you said mostly.[/quote]
Don't you usually see a picture before speaking on the phone? I always have a profile picture so people can tell I'm not skinny but over weight. If someone asked are you athletic I would say no but that I can keep up with young children just fine. [/quote]

I do not think I have ever seen a picture before an interview unless it was on a website like care.com. people don't send a photo when applying through email to a job board posting[/quote]
