[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hire post-menopausal nannies.  Our nanny is 55 and very fit and energetic.  Her life is settled and her children in college.  I have none of the same issues as mothers with younger nannies - no PMS moods to deal with, no pregnancy fears, no texting/cell phone addictions, no boyfriend fight fall-outs, etc.  Older nannies have been working in the childcare, teaching or any other field for decades - the idea that they have to show up on time and perform their duties comes as no surprise to them.

As an older nanny, at a young 59, I obviously agree with you.  Of course we are speaking in generalities here - I'm sure there are some drama-crazed, moody, phone addicted 60 year olds out there but I have never seen one.

Being a nanny is a great job for the older woman.  Most of us have raised our own children and do have stable lives.  As a former elementary school teacher, I have found my work and life experience to be invaluable in working with young children.  I have as much energy and physical flexibility as I did at 19 - maybe more on the energy front since I do get a good night's sleep every night.  And I don't text or ever use my cell phone on the job except for talking to the parents and in case there is an emergency (and I've never had an emergency).

And to the point, it would be biblical and a miracle if I ever got pregnant!!!    [/quote]
