to those coming here form there...herrroooo!
one thing youll notice is that i love giving my opinion, to those who CHOOSE to read it, not parade it in front of others to show them myh opinion is "right" or that theirs is "wrong". opinions are neither of those. so i will write a more in depth response here.
I had a nanny.
she was young, as we also are.
she was 20. attractive, and very petite. im talking size 2 i'd say.
i know my man, and i never had a suspicion of anything that could be shady.
we all became extremely close, and after a year it was hard to see her go. she loved our child like her own, and it was a great experience for all of us.
would i hire a nanny again? yes.
if the finances allowed for it, sure.
i wouldnt choose her based on her looks, but she would have to love being a childcare provider and someone that i could trust. ill tell you that a "suggestive" photo would make me pass along the resume thats for certain, but not out of fear of my SO's infidelity, moreso because i wouldnt want that sort of dressing to be around my child.
i dress modestly i would say, sometimes i wear dresses, and its not Duggar style (no hate, just love). but i dont wear plunging necklines, skin tight jeans (although to be honest, if i were petite i would likely rock a skinny jean, right now its kind of out of respect for the world :] ) and i dont wear anything that would invoke unsolicited and unwarranted sexy thoughts. thats just how i am. and it worked for SO, i have myself a lovely man thing that loves me for me. :]
anyhow. it doesnt matter to me sexy or not, and i can appreciate a good looking woman.
what does matter is my child, and my thoughts on my SO and the nanny arent very involved. i consider my child first, and then consider if its someone that we can all love.
your thoughts may be different, i'd love to hear them, but please, be kind :]
lets also hear from experiences of nannies! if you were one, how was it? any funny anecdotes?
if you had a nanny, how was it? how long did you have one? where did you find your nanny?
I was a nanny. I didn't think of myself as sexy. The mom was much sexier than I. I was younger than her andher hubby, who was also younger than her. He confessed to her that he loved me one day after work. I'd made him sun tea, his fave. They moved as far away as they could within the continental USA. Apparently, my suntea threatened mommy a bit. Naw, jk, they did move to Florida though I almost went with, but couldn't justify leaving my new job.
