[quote=Anonymous]I have hired overweight nannies. I don't think 30 or even 50 lbs is a big deal or means she cannot keep up. However OP said the candidate was double her picture. That does sound extreme. If a "normal" person was 5 4" weighing 130-140, double that would be a minimum of 260lbs. I evaluate candidates (big or small) for their physical ability to keep up with my kids. I ask about lifestyle, whether the candidate is an outdoorsy person vs indoor, etc. I would have difficulty believing a woman who was 2x the optimal weight would be able to keep up with my kids. I don't think its discrimination per se... If I were hiring for a moving company, I wouldn't hire a woman 5' 4" weighing 90 lbs either.[/quote]
