[quote=Anonymous]Hi. I am a current preschool teacher and former nanny. I regularly babysit most of the kids I used to nanny for. I recently lost my grandmother and I've been pretty torn up about this. Anyone who knows me knows how close we were, including all the families I've worked for. About a month ago, I got a small tattoo of her signature. It's on my left wrist and wasn't very noticeable. On Friday, I got my grandfathers signature right under the first one. Since more of my arm is now tattooed, it is a little more noticeable.

One of the families I used to nanny for goes to my church. The youngest child is 8 years old currently and only a few months old when I started taking care of her. I am also employed by my church each Sunday. During the "boring parts" (sermon) I take the children downstairs and do crafts/play games with them. The 8 year old caught a glimpse of my tattoo last week and told her mother. Today, her mother mentioned it, and asked to see it. I showed her my arm which now has two tattoos. She made a face and informed me that she hates it. She mentioned that the next time I come over to watch her kids, she'd have me cover it up. She doesn't want her kids seen with me in public if I have tattoos. I was kind of shocked, and didn't know what to say.

Are there any other nannies with tattoos out there? Do you ever get discriminated against because of them?

In case you're wondering, my job at the daycare doesn't care if I have tattoos as long as they're not offensive.[/quote]
