[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I apologize to anyone who took offence to my original post. I wasn't trying to disrespect or look down on overweight people. I should have worded it differently.

Yes, you're right, being thin doesn't guarantee that the person will be healthy however, being overweight isn't the example I want set for my children. I don't believe the nanny had thyroid issues but I'm not completely sure. My children are young and very energetic and I need someone with the motivation to keep up. Yes, she could have been energetic and I'm not ruling that out but again, I'd rather not waste my time taking chances.

[b]I also want someone who will practice healthy eating in front of my kids.[/b]

Anyways, I did contact the other nanny and she is still available so I'm thinking about setting up an interview and seeing where it goes.

Thank you to those who offered valuable advice and answered my question.[/quote]

Did you ask her what she eats on a daily basis? Again, you're assumptions are what's offensive. Not every overweight individual pigs out all day. I hope you're not modeling this same close-mindedness to your children. That's more concerning than anything. [/quote]

Oh please. The nanny is a fatty. She didn't get that way eating carrot sticks all day. [/quote]
