[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked for an agency in the past and unfortunately, yes, many families discriminate based on age. Most families want a nanny who is in their 30's - early 40's and with no young children of her own because they don't want the complications that can come along with that. I always encouraged families to evaluate each candidate individually. I knew many nannies in their 50's and 60's who could run circles around many 20-something nannies due to motivation and work ethic. Not all families do this, and many place more of a value on an older and more experienced nanny, but you are not imagining things. It always rubbed me the wrong way, [b]especially the families who wanted a 30-something nanny with no kids[/b]. [/quote] I hate that part too because apparently nannies aren't supposed to have any sort of personal life or life outside of being nanny. It's absolutely ridiculous. [/quote]
