[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work for a placement agency that wanted "polished" applicants. It means put together, dressed in a flattering manner - no muffin top, no exposed mid section peeping out between pants & blouse, yoga pants might fly for a nanny job if the right flowy nice blouse were on top. Nothing to make you stand out as weird - tattoos, piercings, excessive make up, t-shirts of your favorite band, perfume, etc. You should look warm and welcoming but professional and mature. At my old agency, it was kind of code for discriminating against significantly overweight people but I hope most agencies aren't like that. [/quote]

Nannying is not a profession that the overweight can really partake in anyways.[/quote]

Lmfao do you have nothing better to do with your night? We can't have one damn innocent thread without some moron coming out to troll, huh? Go away dumbass.[/quote]

Not trying to start anything. Just saying can a 250 pound woman lay on the floor with a baby? Can she run with a 1st grader at the park? Can she climb up the jungle gym climber? Can she teacher a toddler how to eat healthy? Is she a good role model?[/quote]

I weigh 230, but I am also 6' tall, and carry my weight decently. To answer your question, I had no problem rolling around on the floor when my charge's were babies, nor do I have an issue keeping up with them now at 3. Yes I do teach them to eat healthily, and prepare their meals from scratch. Being overweight does mean that you don't know what healthy food looks like. As for your last question, if you want someone to model being skinny to your kids, no I'm not that, but if you want someone who can teach your kids to be healthy but also to love yourself where you are, and to teach them confidence and good character, that I can do. Finally, your post assumes that someone thinner, by virtue of being thin, is going to be able to teach kids to be healthy and be active with them. This is a really stupid assumption, and could very well land you a lazy skinny nanny with disordered eating habits. Stereotypes are stupid. [/quote]
