[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny with a lip ring and two small tattoos (though I'm really itching for a 3/4 sleeve).  I've been a nanny for about a decade and the only problem I've run into is with the agency I went though to get my current job. The owner nagged me about my lip ring every time I talked to her until I finally told her "look, even I don't care as much about this lip ring as much as you.  But I use it as a test - if a family has a problem with it before getting to know me, they are certainly not the kind of people I want to work for."  I went on one interview (through the agency) and when they opened the door, I saw the mom spot the ring and immediately make a disgusted face.  It was a nightmare of an interview for a million reasons (on their part) and I told the agency right away I would not be pursuing the position.
But besides that, my employers have all been very accepting of my little body art.  Besides my current one, all my MBs have had one or two tattoos of their own.  And for what it's worth, I also used to be an overweight nanny (I've lost about 40 lbs in the last year) and never had any problem finding positions.  I used to think it was an asset.  I figured MBs didn't want hot skinny nannies hanging around their house all day...[/quote]
