An older nanny brings so much more to the table.
Life experience, wisdom + a lot of common sense as well.
Plus mature nannies usually take their jobs more seriously as they do not have parents who are still financially assisting them.
And older nannies do not tend to view their cell phones as fifth limbs.
+1 Our amazing nanny is 61 and has more energy than anyone I've ever met. She is truly a professional - never late, never appears to be in a bad mood, NEVER uses her cell phone, and never brings her personal life into work. No drama. She is also loving and wonderful with my kids. I would never hire a young nanny again.
