[quote=Anonymous]Age DOES matter. I'm 26 now, and the thought of a 21 yr old AP makes me laugh (and feel bad for her). She's probably old enough to be apart of the family as your kid. Like an older sister. Most 21 year olds are getting excited about legally being able to drink, taking some college classes, working at the Gap, and still on mom & dad's health/car insurance. They're often not taking on a HUGE roll as a live-in caretaker like you're expecting. I was a nanny at 21, a pretty good one, I think, but I certainly don't think 21 year olds are very mature overall (some are/were forced into it during life circumstances, or just born that way, etc). Point is: you have a young adult doing grown adult things for a not-so-great wage ...and you wonder why there's a problem??? Moms out there - it's time to wake UP.[/quote]
