[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nannies advocating for nanny B don't seem to realize that this isn't about whether an overweight nanny can romp around a park or not. Its not about whether overweight should be accepted.

Managing diabetes medication and blood sugar levels is even more challenging in overweight and older patients. Blood sugar and insulin levels can seriously affect your mental capabilities, cause you to pass out, and worse. It can be scary and many people don't realize this until it happens. Its also very common for older individuals to be more in denial or simply not realize the limitations that their disease and state of health does requires.

This nanny would be fine in a daycare environment as many other adults are readily available to step in if needed. The fact that she is applying for a position where she is watching a child who can't talk alone by herself and drive on a frequent basis shows a lack of judgement. There is no way that the OP should trust that she'll be lucky and nothing will happen while the nanny/child are alone.

If OP isn't comfortable with nanny A she should keep looking. No way should she hire nanny B.

The assumptions that are being made here are [b]offensive[/b].  In a formal work environment they would also be legally actionable if hiring decisions were made based on this.
