[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not discriminating- that's why I'm asking. And yes I've run the NY marathon 4 times.[/quote]

If you have run the NY marathon four times, then you have undoubtedly seen runners in their 60's.  Why would you think a nanny who is 60 couldn't handle your baby and toddler?

Yes, even asking is discriminating.  There is so much more to a great nanny than her age.  We had the worst, constantly sick, always tired, 22 year old nanny for three months and now have a wonderful, former preschool teacher who is 56 (and can run circles around me) for my 17 month old DD.  I have seen our nanny work with multiple kids at play dates and have no doubt she will be able to handle my DD and a future newborn.

I agree with other PP's - look for education and experience.  Check references carefully and ask good questions during the interview.  Don't think about race, religion or age.  [/quote]

I'm asking because I think they're better! My 20
Something nanny was terrible! I want someone who is older, I just want to here others experiences![/quote]

NP here and I have only had one nanny (and pray to God I always have this one nanny) She is 60 and in amazing health.  Never sick and can carry my big toddler longer and farther than I can.  Yes, I probably could have found a great young nanny, I will say two things about hiring an older nanny - and these are two big generalizations from my observation and friends' experiences:  older nannies are not addicted to their phones and older nannies do not have a lot of drama in their lives.  Our nanny is absolutely "no drama" and keeps her phone in her bag all the time.  [/quote]
