If we are talking super attractive, many times that is with lots of makeup and time spent on appearance. In that case I would hesitate if I get the sense it would distract from her duties (e.g. Wearing heels so cant run after kids, too much jewelry my toddler will try to pull on, etc)

It’s called being a preofessional and maturity. Little girls act jealous. Real women who have a committed relationship aren’t northerner by or threatened by an attractive nanny.
Plus, beauty is subjective. What is beautiful to one person, may only be average to another. Don’t define a nanny by her looks, but rather by her experience and education. I have worked with attractive dads. Do I turn down a job because they’re attractive? No. Many nannies do not want to bang their boss and vice versa. Truth is if you’re husband is going to cheat, he will do it with anyone.

If you are not the jealous type, you may find an amazing nanny that just happens to also be gorgeous and be fine with that. My best friend’s nanny fit that exact description, but she isn’t naturally jealous, so it worked for her.
I don’t think it makes someone less mature for thinking this way. I have other strengths that some may not have (I don’t need to micro-manage the schedule, I don’t require everyone or the house to look spotless when I arrive home, etc). I think each NF needs to know their strengths and weaknesses in sharing their family with the nanny, and hire according to what they can handle within those boundaries.
