Encanto Park Playground today in Phoenix, AZ

Received Tuesday, October 16, 2007
I was at the Encanto Park playground today, (10/16) in Central Phoenix, AZ; and saw a Hispanic (just a necessary physical description guys) petite woman in her 30's I believe "watching" a very blonde boy, older, looked to be around 7 or so, maybe even 8? There was also a little Caucasian girl with a brown bob, she was three, I know because she told me, an adorable girl, there was also a tiny Hispanic girl, looked to be around 3 or 4 and I believe (but am not too sure) there was a baby. I'm not sure if she was a Nanny or a in-home care provider who had taken her charges to the park. Regardless, she paid absolutely no attention from the time she arrived until the time we left (she remained), she was always on either her cell or texting (or perhaps it was a Blackberry), I was watching the kids and more worried/concerned about them than her, she NEVER EVEN LOOKED UP for over an hour! Lord only knows what happened after we left. The little girl with the bob was screaming from the swings at her (or anybody who heard and could hopefully oblige) "I want to swing, swing me! Swing me!" Her feet were way too short to push-off herself. It was heart-breaking, on one of the poles, she was going down, quite high, and fell from a fairly high distance, I WAS THE ONE to check and see if she was OK! And I was also the one to tell her "Good job, what a big-girl", when she was adorably yelling, "Look at me! Look at me!", heart-breaking. The older boy looked sad and very bored, ANYONE could have taken ANY of these poor children, or they could have been seriously injured or killed (there were some very high areas for a 3 yr. old to potentially fall and break their neck from, etc.) and she wouldn't have noticed for God-knows how long! I REALLY hope who ever these children belong to sees this posting. She needs to be fired immediately. So sad.

  1. mercy me! Another indifferent, lazy slug of a caregiver. An accident or traumatic incident just waiting to happen to these sweet little children.

    I am a SAHM, and your comments embarrass me.
    If you need to be so ignorant, please represent another group. You are a disgrace.

  3. Wow, 9:10pm, you really are going all out. You just posted an ethnic slur on one of the posts, and you have the nerve to post a racial slur on this post. Are you the one hanging nooses left and right? You are an embarrassment to civilized society. Go read a history book, and you will understand why your behavior is so disgusting.

  4. I've never considered giving Jane Doe advise, but I think sagging breasts should be banned from her blog.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Sagging breasts may well be a sociopath. Just IGNORE it and it will end. If it gets NO response it will become bored and move on.

  7. The most depressing thing about the entire concept of this blog is that it gives no solutions or even humanity towards the million of women who raise your kids. It's almost as if all of you are stabbing at childcare providers and getting off on it instead of either raising your kids yourself or hiring mature, educated skilled professionals.

    It's amazing how frustrated you are and it seems like you could ameliorate all this conflict by simply not having kids or raising them yourselves.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I don't think the goal of this blog is to give solutions, other than perhaps the comments that follow the sighting. It's imperative to try to get these negligent slugs away from innocent children first and foremost, by hopefully alerting parents to these dangerous or potentially dangerous situations involving their offspring.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Where have you been seaweed? Solutions, advice, and important information regarding this subject have been imparted by posters on this blog. First and foremost, however, it is imperative to get these lazy, negligent caregivers away from innocent children before serious harm comes to them. Hopefully, parents will be alerted via this blog.

  10. I will not be judged by someone who dresses like a drag queen and plasters her hoo ha's all over the Internet. And that is 100 percent true.

  11. the two amandas are deluded. It's ludicrous to imply that people who need childcare for their children "don't care" about their kids. Yes, parents must choose carefully and keep abreast of what is going on at all times with regard to their children, but many of these nannies are so devious and put on such a dog and pony show that parents are obviously fooled. Maybe some parents do turn a blind eye but I believe most parents want what is best for their children.

    This blog isn't for made up stories to get nannies fired. How stupid to think all of these dozens and dozens of sightings may be fabricated just to settle a grudge. It's for bad childcare sightings to be reported in order that clueless parents find out what's really going on.

    And while I am at it, your picture is quite disgusting. Very hard to take you seriously. Are you perhaps aka "sagging breasts" who has posted here recently?

  12. Hi Spooky,

    I think "Saggy Breasts" is actually your buddy "Seaweed". It's too much of a concidence that both characters are blaming autism on childcare.

    ReplyDelete
  13. The breasts make me wonder about the comment that she is a respected childcare provider.... I wouldn't hire someone who dressed like that to take care of my son.

  14. Central Phoenix is a ghetto.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I think all of the really idiotic posts left in the middle of the night are probably the same person using different identities. It's probably saggy breasts. Ignore, Ignore. Ignore.
    What she has ot say is not productive...or even sane in most instances. Why even bother with responding to her?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Central Phoenix is not ghetto. You just have to accustomed to living there.

    And OP description of the nanny as hispanic, does not help at all, not even one bit. Sure I can rack that up on the list with the other thousands of hispanic nannies taking care of kids. She will be found for sure.

    There has to be more of a description of this nanny like anything else besides her race. Especailly in central Phoenix.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Amanda,
    I think what people are saying is that the photo you use does not fit with the person you describe yourself to be.
    It's just like on the other thread where the nanny has a short skirt and no undies. What you portray on the outside does affect the way people percieve you. You may say that's not fair, but it's a reality. What else are people going to use to make a quick decision about whether an approaching person is nice, dangerous, etc? It also goes to judgement and whether a person is able to know what is and is not appropriate in different situations. The look you display here does not fit with the image most moms would want for a nanny. I find it very hard to take you seriously. maybe that's not fair, but it's the truth...and I guarantee I'm not the only one. Jts the one who is willing ot tell oyu nicely that you might want to think a little more about the image you portray.

  18. I find it weird that all the parents here are venting their anger out on the illegal alien nannies, and not the parents who put their children's lives in danger by leaving their precious child's life in the hands of an undocumented alien.

    How do you parents know your little blonde hair angels wont be performing in some donkey show in Tijuana? How dare you put your child's life in danger??? Don't you know that young camel boys and pre-teen blond hair girls command high prices in the underground white slave markets of Dubai, Khartoum, and Medina?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Amanda,
    do you usually become frustrated this easily? This is not a desirable attribute in a childcare worker. Also, please explain the name Amanda and Super Amanda. Word on the street is you have named your tatas, Super being the righty and larger of the two.

  20. I am having all kinds of Beth Ditto flashbacks. I am going to tell you what my Uncle Earnest told me when I was 16 and on my way to my first ever mixer at the Lutheran Rec Center, "Callie, button up. I don't need noone thinking we raised us a hussy up in here".

    ReplyDelete
  21. Pascal, you are right on the money! I was thinking exactly the same thing. I think Amanda named her girls. OMG, anyone who is naming her 'girls' in cyberspace really should not be a nanny.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Beth Ditto, indeed.

  24. Amanda is right. her boobs have nothing to do with saving children.
    However, I find myself wondering exactly WHY Amanda is here at all.

    Amanda, you do not inspire confidence as a nanny. And I'm not jealous or fat or ugly, but I'll stop there because somebody dared to say they actually looked good yesterday and got reamed for it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I like Amanda.
    She doesn't seem to be a tree hugging numbskull who wants to embrace every damn illegal in the US.

    And she's right about American born nannies.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Interesting that you admire Nietzsche as you do, 2Amandas. It's well known that he's a darling of the Arian Brotherhood so I guess you know that.

    As for your suspicions that people like to make up things and post them here for revenge, I think it's you who doesn't get what I am saying. Even if there was a post or two some idiot tried to get past Jane Doe and place on this board, it would in no way undo the good this board has done in pointing out negligent nannies and don't you think, 2amandas, that however they got hired, they still need to be fired and asap. Perhaps some parents have been awakened to the problems that can arise when not using caution and good sense when hiring someone to care for their children which is also a good thing. Wouldn't you agree? You can LEARN from this blog.

    You know, you could change that picture to one that portrays your other look, you know, the one you have when you are going to work.

    ReplyDelete
  27. B Ditto you look just like the quintessential blogger mother/moderator--all those hormone treatmnets and diabetes must keep your husband pretty satisfied huh?

    You lot are the most astute argument for sterilization ever presented.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Dude,
    Beth Ditto is a superstar.
    A rocker. Band= Gossip. She sings. She entertains.

    That post was for the two Amandas.
    Another rocker.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yikes, the 2 Amandas may not be perfect, but she at least makes some sense. How mean spirited and small minded you all are, attacking her looks instead of engaging her on the substance of what she says. Instead of spewing hatred and venom, why don't you all just chill out and enjoy your lives, your kids, etc.
    Life is short, ladies.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Amanda, you naughty girl, you. Are you really concerned that people are discussing your boobs instead of nannies and parents. Honestly, I don't see why your boobs are off limits when you have them pressed against my computer screen like that. This brings me to the post about the scantily dressed Polish nanny. If you shove your stuff in people's faces, they will see it and talk about it, and they wont take your brains seriously. By the way, you have great boobs. Are they real?

    ReplyDelete
  31. The two Amandas seem to be running this blog. I think her boobs *could* save the world!

    It's true, we should all look past the outside package to find the true heart of a person. But, the sad fact is we don't. If you look past Amanda's (quite heinous) picture, her writing is good and her points are even better. If her picture were different we would all be rallying behind her.

    Go Amanda!

    ReplyDelete
  32. OK, I'm not that interested in what Amandas looks like as it's irrelevant to the price of tea in China, but for someone who clearly fancies herself to be an intellectual, her grasp on English literacy (or lack thereof) is amusing. And I wouldn't hirer anyone so self-absorbed, vain and short-tempered to care for my children, legal or not.

    Amanda sweetie, no need to trot out the old "you're jealous of me" chestnut again. FYI I jog twice a week and do aerobics 3 times a week and I'm not impressed by the fact that you live and work in the SF area. Many people do. And let me guess, you moved here within the last 7 years because you thought you'd hang with the "cool" people?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Given the attention any of us with blogger profiles and pictures receives; I am convinced the only way to shame and cast out these vile nannies is to snap their photographs!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yes Quinn, 2Amandas has a few good points but she is also deluded in some of her thinking. Making people aware of problems often brings forth solutions. Some of the needed actions to prevent these shifty, devious, negligent nannies from gaining employment involve enforcing some of our labor laws and getting to IRS to take note of some of these stories so they can do a little auditing.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Speaking of scantily clad nannies, what of JD's version of Mary Poppins??? Whether she is flying or sitting, she seems to be wearing revealing attire...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Nice boobs, Amanda!

    About JD's Mary Poppins, I think she looks great.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I believe the nanny pictured on here is a friend of JD's who plays on Broadway or so I've heard. Les Miserables, I think is what I heard.

  38. Cali mom doesn't have a picture. Maybe she is not very good looking?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Amanda, you seem to have a good sense of style. Do you know anything about those Leah Remini hoodies that everyone was trying to get a few weeks ago?

    ReplyDelete
  40. ROFLMAO, Amandas, yes dear, I grew up about 5 miles from Piedmont (in Berkeley...dream on!) so I don't need to Google it but I'll humor you by pretending I'm impressed with your amazing web saavy in having discovered such an obscure and little known search site.

    And I'm happy to know that the existence of your breasts brings you such joy in your everyday life. I kinda prefer my ass to my breasts but I bet you don't care about that anymore than I care about your breasts.

    Again, you just couldn't manage to reply without the old "you're jealous" line, althugh you were clever enough to try to disguise it a bit. Try again though, this is fun.

    As for "You'll be lucky if your kids are even half as well educated and traveled as me when they leave home.", make that "as well traveled and educated as I, not ME.

    I'm glad you could admit to being self-absorbed and short tempered at least, even though you're still in denial about the vanity.

    Oh, and what is "deiced"?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Amanda,
    Explain all you want. Complain all you want. Defend all you want. The simple FACT is that a person has 10 seconds to make a first impression. That's a fact. In the first ten seconds, based on your appearance and demeanor, people will size you up...and that impression is often hard to erase. Giant boobs in the face certainly make a statement.

    If you want any credibility as a nanny, or as an educated, well traveled and intelligent, you need to lead with something other than your bare boobs. Nobody is going to take you seriously with that picture you have pasted to your posts. Actually, it looks like you might be a drag queen.

    If you want to assert the persona of a free living beatnik/artist/cross dresser, go ahead. But don't fault others for passing on you as a suitable nanny candidate. Be unconventional all you want. It's YOUR life. But that is NOT what most (sane) people are looking for as a role model or caregiver for their kids. (Although the Barth family from Santa Rosa probably very much appreciates your professionalism in dragging their name into this lunacy.)

  43. I'm not spreading anything, Maggie. That's just the word on the street. If I had some apricot brandy, I'd down it, though.

  44. You're right 2amandas everyone needs to get past your beasts and onto the real issues at hand

  45. oh, 2amandas... NY'ers don't do off brands. Don't even bother suggesting such...

    ReplyDelete
  46. i'd like to see the woman or what claims to be a woman who said amanda looks like a drag queen. clearly from amanda's biography pictures she's female. what I'm not so clear on is where she meets all these secure bay area mothers to work for because none of them seem to be on isyn.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Sorry Amandas but you are reminding me a lot of Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda.

    You sound completely unbalanced and you obviously have some issues with anger management. I suppose it'll piss you off even more to know that I haven't bothered to click on your link to look at your picture. Oh yeah, you don't care. As you've screamed over and over for the last several hours.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Typing in all caps is screaming.

    I guess all those "fun lefties" moved to Italy once they knew you were in Berkeley.

    Sleep tight.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Amanda...I dont have the time to comment on everything I'd like to, but I do want to point out that you refered to people who dont show their figures as cowards, yet you describe Beth Ditto (who is clearly unafraid to show her figure) as morbidly obese. WTF? We should act like you so that people like you can make fun of us?

    You seriously need to get over yourself. If you are so busy, involved, successful and important, how do you have so much time to spend on this blog?

    You are clearly making up a lot of what you are writing and your style of writing screams "Man!"

    Sorry...that was so unlike me, but a person can only take so much! Jeez!

    ReplyDelete
  50. 2 Amandas,
    I wasn't trying to attack you...just give you some helpful suggestions about being appropriate in different situations. A lot of people here don't seem to be taking you very seriously, and it is mostly based on your photo...although you have also made some really strange posts, so that may also contribute. Have you ever thought of using that photo on your acting websites and a more conservative one when you are presenting yourself as UberNanny? Just a thought. You seem so defensive and ready to fight.

    I suppose the reason I find you "scary" as a nanny prospect is that I am not a "Crazy Lefty." But if I ever decide I want to raise a pack of devil-may-care hippies, I'll consider you first.

    I'm assuming you'll be "between jobs." In your most impressive "just to name a few" list of big whig employers, you list eleven different people. How old are you? How long do you tend to keep each job? Seems if all of these people found you to be as wonderful a nanny as you claim to be, you might have a shorter list of clients? I mean, don't people who love their nanny tend to try to keep her for quite a while?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Cali mom,

    As an English professor, I have to point out that Amanda's grammar was correct and that you (in trying to correct her) were actually incorrect. The proper usage is "as educated and well traveled as ME." The misuse of the pronoun "I" in that type of sentence is a mistake commonly made, but a mistake nonetheless. You could end the sentence with "I am", but without the "am", it's just plain "me". Sorry, Cali mom, I think Amanda is clearly better educated than you. And seemingly nicer, too.

    ReplyDelete
  52. What great role models you all are. Let's hope our kids grow up to be nasty, superficial people who attack others for every possible failing in physical appearance or otherwise. Seems many of the nannies and moms on this site have that in common!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Amanda, if you are full time nanny, who is taking care of the kids. It appears you have been blogging all afternoon. Take the kids out or something for Pete's sake. I am not jealous of you or anything, I actually think you have great boobs. Just don't spend too much work time on the computer or blackberry because you could find a post on this site about a really hot nanny with big boobs who spent the whole afternoon with her eyes on her blackberry instead of watching the kids.

    ReplyDelete
  54. You must be doing more than just nannying for this family if you have to much free time on your hands. Are you 'really close' to the parents.

    ReplyDelete
  55. 2:46...Oops! You're wrong. "Me" is incorrect in that sentence.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Wow Super Amanda. You didn't tell us that our children could meet "British Statesmen" if they were nannied by you! Naturally, that Makes ALL the difference.

    So you you were misleading with the list of people you have nannied for? That's reassuring. And one year of employment for a family is hardly wirth bragging about. Most kids stay little much longer than 1 year. Why not have you stay until the child starts schoool at least? I smell a problem there.

    And the sado masochist nanny would not fool me intop letting her watch my kids. Why? Because I raise my own.

    ReplyDelete
  57. let us refocus on the children left in the care of oscar worthy nannnies. nannies who lie through their teeth, blow smoke on their charges and febreeze them by day's end.

    come on!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Oh, English Prof...
    Isn't the below an incomplete sentence?
    "And seemingly nicer, too."

    Also, the "better educated" descriptive term doesn't sound right, either. However, since I really don't think you are an English professor, I am not sure you are qualified to comment on this.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Hey SuperAmanda!
    Me (since you prefer it to "I") have a great idea!

    Perhaps you and your "British Statesman" can join Paris Hilton when she meets with Nelson Mandela. (Or do you already know him well from having nannied for him too?)

    ReplyDelete
  60. I feel really sorry for all of you. Do any of you have happy marriages? Fulfilling lives? Well-adjusted children? Successful careers? I highly doubt it. Happy people don't tend to spend time ripping others apart . . .

  61. Real celebrity nannies don't drop names. Name dropping is what separates real professional nannies from tabloid crazed fakers.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Amanda...your 1:34 comment didn't even make any sense and, while I disagree that I am tacky or rude (I strive to be neither), if you plan to be insulting to my children or speaking of them in ANY way, you will see tacky and rude that you have never dreamed of. Be high and mighty and haughty all you want, but do not comment on people's children.

    ReplyDelete
  63. the 2amandas is so sure that our children need to have nannies who are able to say they've been to here or there in England, settings in some child's storybook, but how about this, I'll bet our American nannies can point out having been to many places where some of the most magnificent of movies were made right here in the good old U.S. of A. How about that? I've been to where "Giant" was filmed, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore", and "BusStop" with Marilyn Monroe, "Cimmaron", "StageCoach" and dozens more great American film locations. Anyone ever count how many films were shot right in NYC? Yeppers, now... let's think of a couple of good English films... Uh, stumped?

    ReplyDelete
  64. 2:46, I'm not taking your anon claims as gospel. I say you are wrong.

    4:34, thank you. YOU are also correct.

    Amandas, are you seriously bragging about never having managed to hold one job for longer than a year?? I suppose if you farted in front of the Queen, you'd consider it something to be proud of.

    Weren't you saying almost 24 hours ago now that you didn't care what anyone thought about you on this blog?

  65. Please review our comment policy. We'd prefer not to have to start censoring comments...
    Thank you.

  66. Amanda, welcome! I think the big gang up is just an initiation thing. You are gifted in more ways than one, and it's nice that you are not letting anyone beat you down. Cali mom went through something similar, and she held her ground like a true mom.

    Goodnight :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. I don't think I said you did (or didn't) know about American films, nor do I care. Just don't paint our American nannies with the broad paintbrush you seem to be using. Hey, we still remember the killer nanny you guys sent over here: Louise the baby shaker....
    I've been to the U.K., by the way, and the young females over there seem to be quite similar to ours, and are about equal in shallowness. They seem to emulate the Americans and as you know, much of our trend setting comes straight out of Hollywood. That's not such a good thing, either.

    But so far as the English go, I respect them for being our true allies in times of need (and of course, vice versa.)

    ReplyDelete
  68. "...One family straight through for six years why no one can except this..."

    That should be ACCEPT. I thought you claimed to be educated? BTW, where did you get your degree from? Laney college?

    And since your reading comprehension is obviously as low as your understanding of proper English grammar, spelling and punctuation, (periods honey...remember what they're for?) I did not attack you for "being interested in literature and history." But you are obviously quite full of yourself and either a blatant liar or just plain delusional, and dropping the names of various writers you've skimmed, (as well as various employers you claim to have had) in hopes of impressing people with your intelligence above theirs, simply backfires when you cannot write your way out of a paper bag without the help of an editor. And spend hours glued to your computer trying harder and harder to gain acceptance in a written debate.

    Here's a hint dear: if you don't care what anyone here thinks or says about you, STOP RESPONDING and prove it. Otherwise it's just another one of your lies. But makes for some interesting conversation.

  69. Actually , though..
    my ex-husband never did watch porn. There really are some men who aren't into that, although they may have other habits or activities that cause a marriage to fail.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Actually Amanda, I was angry, but now that you are obviously trying to provoke me (and everyone), the only thing I feel for you is pity. I don't have anything to prove to you. You are simply not worth anything but comic relief.

    ReplyDelete
  71. cali mom,
    I've always liked you and respected (though not always agreed with your posts) but I must say that you are being a bit hard on the Amandas. She really just got here and though she's comes across as a bit haughty, I think you might be just a bit more tolerant and give her a chance? Just a thought.
    Cheers-

    ReplyDelete
  72. You know, meme,
    I am not so sure that the Amandas is trying to provoke so much as trying to defend. She does seem to be full of herself and certainly has a strong personality, but there are others :-) on here with equally strong personalities that cause a bit of commotion. That's what keeps it interesting, right? If she truly cares about children, and I believe she does, why not give her a listen and hope she reels herself in just a tad? And maybe she'll even... put away that picture!!!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Spooky, I actually agreed with her first post about how employers should treat nannies like human beings, hire mature professionals, etc. Not much to argue with there. But reading more and more and more of her posts, I don't find much to recommend her in any way and plenty to the opposite. AND I don't think I'm being any harder on her than many other posters here.

    But she obviously lives and breathes on this kind of attention, so maybe I should just let her wonder where her audience has gone for a while. >:)

    ReplyDelete
  74. And actually Spooky, I finally did check out that picture and I will say that it's quite an attractive one. But has nothing to do with the topic at hand (nannying!)

    And btw, WHO is Beth Ditto?

    ReplyDelete
  75. not that I want to be her defender, necessarily, but sometimes when people feel like they are being attacked they become overly defensive in their comments. There was a very nice gal who left the blog because she felt she was being stalked on here and attacked! I don't know if you recall that. Anyway, we shall see what we shall see.

  76. Cali Mom,

    Any grammar text will back me up. But, I somehow doubt you have one handy. Trust me, "I" sounds correct in that context only to those who have never taken a proper grammar course (which, unfortunately, seems to include most Americans these days).

    Your friendly neighborhood English Prof.

  77. I only found out today that Beth Ditto is some kind of Lesbian entertainer who sings and dances in her underwear and is very overweight. Anyway, that's the story I got!

  78. 12:59, by all meanms then, link one. IF you can provide proof I'd be interested to see it.

    it is NOT correct to say "as well edicated as me is" or ..."as me am". Or "as me are". It IS correct to say "as I (am).

    Prove me wrong please.

  79. hmm, looked on Wikipedia for Beth Ditto. I'd seen a video of her before.

  82. Spooky, I have to agree with what Cali Mom said after you addressed both us based on our replies to amanda. I couldn't say it better myself.

    Cali Mom, Beth Ditto is some srt of singer. I am not a fan, but I have seen her on magazines and on some websites. She's a big girl and dresses to show it off. Even posed nude on a mag cover. Google her.

  83. I just read back...Spooky knew more than me. I didn't know Beth Ditto was a lesbian! I basically only knew what she looks like, which was kind of the point of her original mention.

  84. 2Amandas,
    Paul Robeson? Reinstating to public view the wonder that is Paul Robeson is your fantastic philanthropic contribution to society? I have to say that I was begining to wonder whether we were being too hard on you, seeing as you keep on mentionng how much money you have raised on behalf of a worthy charity. I thought perhaps something to benefit sick or underpriveleged children. But what good it this actually going to do for the world in the end? This is something that makes Amanda feel important...not a gift to society.

    2Amandas, you are a person who can be whatever you want, and add all the color and flavor to the world that you want. That is your right. It is good that we are all different, because otherwise the world would be bland.
    HOWEVER, I am getting the feeling that what you MOST want is ATTENTION. ANY kind of attention you can get. YOu thrive on this negative attention here, because at least it puts you in the spotlight. Ever since you have been posting here, the blog has turned into "All about Amanda," which I believe was your intention.
    My guess is that you are lonely and wanted some attention so you came on here being purposely provocative..posting an inappropriate photo for a nanny and pretending to be so very pretentious by listing all of your travels, accomplishments and high profile connections, as though that makes you superior to everybody who has not visited peter Rabbits burrow in Whipstitch England. You look old enough to realize that nobody likes to hear people spout off about how wonderfuland superior they are. You knew in advance how people would react. If this is how you act in oyur personal life, you have seen this reaction many times before, I'm sure.

    But, you throw in a few comments along the way that sound rational and are along the same lines as what other people on here write, so that you can later act like an innocent victim by asking, "Why are you all ganging up on me? I wrote a bunch of the same things as you all wrote. We're all just the same, trying to do the same thing. I just want to be your friend, and instead you are judging me. What is wrong with all of you mean people. Poor, innocent, victimlike me!"

    I have known other people that do this. They act inappropriately, dress inappropriately...all the things they know are good for shock value. And then when people react as anybody would expect them to in response to the way they have portrayed themselves (shocked and repulsed, DUH), these people act hurt and maligned so they can get even more attention and mileage out of their "victimhood."

    People would gladly accept you Amanda, if you didn't try so hard to offend right off the bat. You have to sometimes be willing to be "part of the group" instead of the center of attention all the time. That's the give and take of friendship and all relationships.


    I PROMISE you, nobody is impressed when you crow about yourself. Nobody likes somebody who does that. It's offensive. If somebody happens accidentally upon information about something great you have done, they are impressed. When you tell them yourself, it has the OPPOSITE effect. It comes off first as incredibly insecure, and then braggadocious and obnoxious. That goes for everybody.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Amanda,
    You prove my point. You just want to fight.

    And your rant about my hating all nannies was a waste. I raise my own kids. If anything, my beef is with the moms who, as you point out, dump their kids on somebody else to raise, do not treat the nannies well, and then act surprised that the nanny isn't jumping through hoops to be the perfect "substitute mommy"...or they are surprised when their kids end up hurt or abused when they have passed them off on a virtual stranger to raise. That upsets me.I think kids deserve better and some moms are far too stuck on themeslves to even see it. It's probably not ever going to be about women working together for the best interest of children. It's probably going to continue to be about some good moms wanting to work with good nannies, and a lot of selfish moms who just want to dump their kids with anybody they can get, and go about their self serving lives.

    And yes, I was actually trying to give you some useful advice about getting along. Don't beat us all over the head with your resume, travels and accomplishments...just try to stick to the nanny issues. Your trying so hard to impress/outdo everybody else is offputting.

  90. anonymous at 1152am, if you want my support, pick a GD moniker.
    I am tired of all the anonymous posters.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Amanda,
    One thing does have me greatly concerned. I was thinking this morning about how you arrived on the blog at about the same time (IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, actually) when somebody came on the blog and made several very offensive comments (probably mostly removed by now.) Among them were accustaions that Autism is caused by mothers not raising their own children. The blog had been a bit nasty at times, but mostly on topic anyway. Then comes all of this vile nonsense. (Which was quickly reacted to and then we all ignored.) And then all of a sudden comes Amanda with a bunch of really off the wall stuff.

    So I was thinking to myself this morning that perhaps you were actually that same person. And then I come home and see your 11:04 post in which you (once again?) mention Autism as a possible result of over use of outside childcare. This is such an off the wall theory/accusation that, in conjunction with the suspicious timing of oyur arrival on the blog, I cannot help but think you are likely behind all of those hateful posts too.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Amanda,
    What was your former moniker? Sagging Breasts, was it?
    About the same time arrived a weird guy...Seaweed something...who we can all assume is AKA your boyfriend, Keith.

    One morning we all woke up to a pile of nonsense on here...a bunch of lunatic rantings had taken place during a small space of time during the middle of the night, all under different names. Had to be the work of one very odd person (Or that person and her weird boyfriend.) Since then the whole blog has been very strange. Thanks SuperAmanda/Saggy Breasts and Eric/Seaweed. Are you having a good time? What were the other names you used? I can't remember them all, but there was at least one more.

    ReplyDelete
  93. anyone who mocks autism or the cause behind autism should have his or her fingers severed at the knuckle to prevent him/her for ever polluting the internet with such nastiness again.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Actually,
    There has never been a conclusive correlation proven between any method of treatment and which Autistic children improve or "recover." And there has never been a proven cause of Autism, other than in those specific cases where it is proven to be genetic.

    Don't talk about what you don't know. It might hurt people who are dealing with this very serious issue anddo not need guilt heaped uopn them by an uninformed know it all.

    If you must seek attention so fiercely, is it too much to ask that you at least don't hurt aleady hurting people in the process?

  99. Saggy Seaweed Superamandas,

    You call this blog a joke and say its not a real forum, and yet you spend apparently ALL of your time on here? Sad.

    And you seem to have an intense disdain for people who hire nannies. And yet you choose to spend your life as... a nanny? Strange.

    That's what I like so much about all of you self proclaimed "Crazy Liberals"....all of the hypocrisy.

  107. Saggy seaweed SuperAmandas,
    I am most curious about the post you made below. You say you did not write the ugly Saggy Breasts comments...apparently because you "are not racist." Exactly how again are accusations about kids getting Autism because their moms don't sepnd enough time with them "racist?"
    And don't you find it curious and curiouser that You, your boyfriend Eric, Dark Seaweed and Sagging Breasts all appeared on the blog for the first time during the same time period one night during which a bunch of insane comments were left...and that the above mentioned people randomly happened to make the same never-before-mentioned and unsubstiantiated accusation that Autism is linked to parents working? Oh, and you happening to be blogging and coincidentally posting right after Saggy Breasts really ugly comments... several times?

    You mentioned writing something on this subject and this being a good place to gather information. I suspect you are writing many of the posts here, under different names, trying to stir up trouble, and maybe leading your "research" in the direction you NEED it to go. Ahhhh...the usual method of "crazy lefty" research. I hope whoever you submit your "findings" to figures out what a sham you are.

    You wrote the following:

    Do you at least admit that dark Seaweed is either you or your boyfriend, Eric?

    ReplyDelete
  109. I though Amanda's boyfried was Keith. She gets around so (on this blog, that is...LOL)that I cannot keep track. Doesn't really matter because the boyfriend most likely doesn't exsist anyway. She has to have an ally somewhere, even if she must create one.

    ReplyDelete
  110. 1:22....I have to say I was actually thinking the same type of thing earlier. It is kind of suspect.

    And I knew I was not crazy...I just scrolled up and AA's BF is Keith, not Eric.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Oops, my bad. I meant Keith.
    It is very clear that Keith and Amanda are at least together, if not one and the same. (I suspect it is the latter.) If you look at the original posts by the "two" of them, they are back to back, asserting the same position, and, most suspiciously, written in the exact same tone and style, as if by the same author. This leads me to believe they were probably written by the SAME person. besides, how many of our men would want to sit and write on this with us in the middle of the night...and on a regular basis? Face it, this is just not a "guy thing" to do. My sense is that she got on here one night and wrote most of the night under all different names.
    I know I woke up that next morning and thought, "What the heck happened here last night?!" It was all so weird and different than usual. I mean, there was a lot of sniping and cattiness before, but this was all just bizarre nonsense...so different from the usual tone of the blg. What are the odds of a bunch of "crazy lefties" showing up for the first time all together on one night? And allof them accusing that Autism (or "Utism") is a curse upon the children of working mothers?
    I am a SAHM, but found those comments very offensive and potentially hurtful (not to mention ignorant), so I remember them and thought the "coincidence" quite remarkable.

    Amanda never brought up her race once and while she happens to be white NO decent human being moderating a site that looks after the welfare of children would ever have allowed a comment like that to stand.

You seriously need to get help. I am concerned for your well being. I hope no one says anything else negative about you. We are all praying for your recovery from whatever happened to you that caused you to come here and attack working women and women who employ nannies. Comments had never been deleted with such vigor before you showed up and I agree that it was unfortunately very needed. Your comments about autistic children were very mean spirited and hurtful.

  125. I secon jaya's sentiment. And watch your back sounds like a threat to me. What an odd comment to make.

    ReplyDelete
  126. I agree, she is gone as Amanda, but still here as anonymous.

    Just ignore the really oddball posts and she will get bored.

    PS As a part time babysitter/"nanny" it seems odd that she was writing all of the rants about nannies needing medical and dental coverage. (Dental seems excessive, as many companies do not even provide that.) As far as I have been able to figure out from reading all of this, trained, professional, well qualified full time nannies do get those things when working on the books, and through an agency. (Although recent posts indicate that they can sometimes get these jobs independently as well.) Anybody working off the books and not requiring the apparently normal benefits such as healthcare is probably doing so becase they are underqualified and unable to get a"professional" position. Those have no right to complain because if they were good enough to warrant and command such things, they would certainly be in demand and be able to get a really good, weel paying job with normal benefits. It seems very apparent here than good, qualified nannies are rare jewels with choices to work for only the families that treat them well.

    If you're a nanny and not in demand, or not valued by your employer...time after time...you might want to look at the quality of service you are providing and the skills that you bare bringing to the table.

    I know where I live people pay TOP DOLLAR for a good babysitter because they know she will be unavailable to them if they are not treating her very, very well. The best sitters are ALWAYS in high demand.

  128. Hmm, my comment from last night never posted.

    Good thing Jane got out that big can of whoop-a$$! What a lot of craziness here. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't figure out what 7:42 was talking about.

    Isn't London one of the big heroin using capitals of the world? Some of the posts were getting prett strange.

    ReplyDelete
  129. 7:42 appears to have been written by Amanda. I think it is suggesting that she was doing some sort of research on this site in order to write some article, or somehow publicize that this site is racist and ugly and unfair.

    She is also quite an angry person it appears, and she is somehow blaming it on jane Doe. Amanda was one messed up lady.

    Let's all keep our eyes out for such publicity, and, if we find she has done anything malicious and false, we can get together and put something together to refute whatever false claims may be made. While she was here, Amanda caused a lot of trouble and steered the blog into all kinds of directions that it normally does not go. I believe she manipulated the blog to meet her own ends.
    How interesting it would be for her editor or producer to find that her "research" is mostly "self manipulated."

    Those of you in the Bay Area should be especially vigilant, since that is where she claims ot be living...if that was even true.

    Jane Doe, can you check the posts to see how many names she used? (You don't actually have to tell us.) It would be a good way to prove how manipulative she was though,if you could have proof that she used several different identities and wrote most of the blog all by herself for the time she was here.

    ReplyDelete
  130. for an anonymous person, you are quite supportive! and kind. To get back on track, I think we should all keep our eyes peeled for those great nannies that are out there everyday.

The past week was too much of a stampede. I didn't get to read all the comments, but the few that I read suggested that there were some inbred newbies.

    Goodnight :)

  135. 6:57, I thought her blog page said she was living in London now. But she did say she grew up in Piedmont, right next to Oakland.

  139. t.r....I saw her (or someone using the same name) a few days ago on one of these posts. I asked it is was really her and where she had been, but never got a reply. Maybe it wasn't really her. IDK.

  142. Wow! This is the first time (and it will be the last time) that I checked this site since being the original poster of this AGES ago. First-off I'M HISPANIC AND NOT RACIST you silly women~! NOONE< NOT A SOUL SAID ANYTHING when I described one child as being Caucasian (could that be construed as racist since I'm Hispanic????) and I also described one of her "charges" as being Hispanic as well. RIDICOULOUS! PLEASE! ALSO was it noted by the OCD riddled Psycho's that obviously peruse this board that I did not REMEMBER, (hear that clothing and the such was OMITTED BECAUSE I DIDN'T REMEMBER, NOT BECAUSE I'M RACIST), I didn't describe ANYONE'S CLOTHING, etc. because I DIDN'T REMEMBER. NO HIDDEN "AGENDAS" THERE GUYS< SOrry, I AM SO SICK (EVEN AS A MINORITY) OF EVERYONE (SORRY< GUYS BUT IT'S USUALLY WHITES) thinking if you say something like as innocous as "My Boss is from Mexico" you're a racist. WHAT???!!!! Does anyone else not see how CRAZY that is? When I describe someone as being white or from France all is OK? Majority-rule guilt maybe? I was just trying to help. It won't ever happen again.

  143. OP I'm hispanic ALSO and did NOT see anything offensive here. I'm also from Phoenix, AZ and could've easily been the nanny lol but gladly it wasn't me. So sad that we get labeled not only here in Phx but on a site because there are nosy people who only comment on what their RACIST eyes want to see not what the post was about. I was going to comment about Encanto not only about someone taking off with the children but they could've easily run into the parking lots or street and hit by cars. Playgrounds are close enough by both if you're not paying attention they could slip away.
