[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a 58 year old nanny who was more than able to handle everything physically. Don't rule people out by age - rule them in or out based on ability to handle the job. Make sure whomever you hire can run, catch, lift up to 45 pounds. Make sure they are even tempered for toddler tantrums and colicky babies. Make sure they know what to do in an emergency and won't panic. Make sure they can communicate well with you and any other relevant people (teachers, family, etc...) Age doesn't tell you everything - not by a long shot. Good luck![/quote] + 1 Our nanny is 62 and handles our two boys, 2.5 and a nearly 7 month old better than I can! And my older son isn't in school yet so he is home all day with her. She has energy, experience and education - and is so loving! You are silly to discriminate because of age. [/quote]
