[quote=Anonymous]I am an older nanny (58 this June) and have never felt at a disadvantage due to my increased years!  I have a bad knee and am 15 pounds overweight - but I had a bad knee and was 15 pounds overweight when I was 28!  I do get up from playing on the floor in less than a graceful manner but enjoy two long stroller walks a day adding up to close to seven miles.  My life is calm and settled.  I, too, go home to a quiet house with my adorable husband and get a good nights sleep every weeknight.   I don't have friends who call me when I'm working with "problems" - actually I bought a cheap flip-phone just for work and have a 15 dollar a month service plan from the AARP and only the parents have the number.  If the telephone rings, it's either the Mom or Dad calling.  I leave my regular cell phone at home.  I worked all the drama out of my life decades ago.

While a good nanny is a good nanny regardless of age, there are definite generational differences.   I am not, nor have ever, felt the need to be "connected" all the time.  [/quote]
