[quote=Anonymous]I am an older nanny (60) and American (white). I was at a restaurant today with my two adorable charges - 5 and 3 - and I was making them laugh. An older gentleman came up to the table and said, “I can’t wait to be in your position” (assuming that I was their grandmother). I said, “You want to be a nanny?” He looked shocked. So I explained that I was their nanny. Then he got it and started to apologize - I reassured him that I took it as a compliment and absolutely no offense was taken. I then introduced him to my charges. Here is why I am recounting this incident - so many posters on General Patenting grip that they see terrible nannies in the park all the time which is why they send their child to daycare. Whenever I see those posts, I always ask how they know those women are nannies and not mothers. And how many posters see great nannies who happen to be older or white and assume they are the mother or grandmother, never the nanny. [/quote]
