[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Let's face it, the main reason MB's dislike nannies with young children is that they want a nanny whose entire sole focus is THEIR child only. They don't want her going home to their own child whom they miss and adore. They don't want her to have a real life outside of their family or any other obligations, hence the whining about "part of the reason to hire a nanny is for the flexibility" BS.[/quote]

[b]No, bitter nanny, MBs don't have the time or bandwidth to want to thwart or be jealous of another mother going home to a child they miss and adore.[/b] It's weirdly paranoid of you to think they don't like you for that reason. [b]They don't want to deny you your real life. They are only interested in you doing your job.[/b]

Whether you believe it or not, flexibility IS why people hire nannies over other childcare options. Some MBs feel that a nanny with small children would face challenges that would interfere with her ability to do her job, or she might require extra accommodations that bring undue hardship and faced with a choice between a nanny who has challenges that need to be accommodated and ones who don't, they'll choose the nanny who can be there and do the job.

[b]It isn't about you. It's about the job.[/b]

Personally, I don't care about a nanny's personal life. I don't care if she has a partner or kids...not my business. If she says she can do the job and does it, all good. But I understand parents who are wary, especially when nannies think it's ok to ask for unprofessional perks, like bringing their child to work.

Yes, this.  Especially the bolded parts.[/quote]
