[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work for a placement agency that wanted "polished" applicants. It means put together, dressed in a flattering manner - no muffin top, no exposed mid section peeping out between pants & blouse, yoga pants might fly for a nanny job if the right flowy nice blouse were on top. Nothing to make you stand out as weird - tattoos, piercings, excessive make up, t-shirts of your favorite band, perfume, etc. You should look warm and welcoming but professional and mature. At my old agency, it was kind of code for discriminating against significantly overweight people but I hope most agencies aren't like that. [/quote]

Nannying is not a profession that the overweight can really partake in anyways.[/quote]
I'm a nanny and I just checked my weight I'm 5'0 and I weigh 154 that gives me a BMI of 30.1 so technically I'm obese I would need to weigh between 94.5 and 127.5 to be considered normal weight.  My goal weight has always been 130 but after looking this up it's now 127 so I can be "normal" I do however feel perfectly healthy at my obese weight of 154 I don't know physically what I will be able to do better if I loose 25 pounds other then look better in a 2 piece at the pool.[/quote]

Were trying to have a conversation about 250 pound nannies and you jump in with "I weigh 150 pounds, I'm fat and it's no problem." You are just muddying the waters.[/quote]
