JMT,
ReplyDeletewhat is your story? Perhaps you should apply!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm no expert. How about the awesome South African nanny from a post a while back? What was her name? She is the one who talked to someone else's son and told him how to behave when his mother wouldn't. She had the cojones to do what is right in a really professional way. I'd watch that.

Well Jeez, thank Goodness this would be baby napper appeared in California. I get the feeling that if said man approached some of these Park Slope nannies with a fistful of cash, they would nod their head in unabated glee and hand off the child they seem to so loathe.

ReplyDeleteI choked on my sparkling water.
A sense of humor is key, especially since I'm in the thick of Park Slope.
The Encino Baby Snatcher is a hoax. The nanny had decided that the playground was too dangerous for her charge so she made the story up. Talk about not being able to be honest with your employers!
ReplyDeleteyeah i saw that on yesterdays- or i guess last night's post. My question- does that nanny get fired?
ReplyDeleteDoes her name get entered in to a database? she sounds like a nightmare you wouldnt want to pass on to another family!
I could tell you the names of about 7 agencies in the tri state area that parents SHOULD NEVER USE.
ReplyDeleteBe very careful!
Take their word for NOTHING.
Get copies of everything they say they have done. Background checks, references, driver's lisc, school references, application, letters of reference. Verify the nanny's previous addresses.
A great nanny is tough to come by. When you get hold of one, hold on tight. Don't sweat the small stuff that comes up.
