[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not overthinking, OP. I wouldn't risk even the chance of an off-handed comment that runs contrary to my family's values if I had the knowledge of that potential. What if one of your children has a schoolmate with two moms or two dads; do you think this woman could 100% conceal her feelings on that? Your children are certainly old enough to pick up on more subtle social clues. I'd pass.[/quote]
I'm very religious and belive that most people will burn in hell especially those you listed. However I keep my thoughts to myself. I can be nice and kind to anyone regardless of their differences and beliefs. My chages don't know my stance of gays or Jewish people. I am a professional and keep them to myself. I also have no issue being friendly and social with gays. [/quote]

Please, please tell me you are a troll.  Gays??? Are you f***ing kidding me???[/quote]

Yeah, PP, you're neither nice nor kind even if you act like you are.

OP, you have school-aged children. It has been my experience that children of that age ask a lot of questions and are very curious about their nanny's life and beliefs. I don't think it's wise to hire someone with such extreme bigotry but do whatever you'd like.

I am not religious and when I read Berenstein Bears books with "As the Bible says, honor your mother and father" to a 2yo I...don't. I say, "We should always be kind and helpful to our parents." (The kids and parents I work for are not religious, but one of the grandmothers is and sends all kinds of books that have that stuff sprinkled throughout. If the parents were religious I would read the passages but I'd probably mumble the passage and hurry on because I think brainwashing kids is evil.)

Anyway, there you go. I don't give a hoot what adults believe but as an atheist I am not going to do that to a child. We shouldn't be kind to mom and dad because some book said so, we should do it because it's the right thing to do. I can't make myself embrace the dogma. I imagine there will come a point when one of your children talks to your nanny about something at school and she can't completely hide her feelings about it. Is she super nanny? If not, is she your only choice? Why do you want so many opinions? Do you not have any candidates who mesh better with your family's perspective? What if she is voting for Trump and talks about it with you, can YOU keep a straight face and still respect her? It really helps the relationship if you're on the same page about something more than the kids.[/quote]
