Your nanny was playing very aggressively with your daughter today and encouraging the other children to play along. The nanny was splashing herself with her water bottle and splaying sprinkles of water on the other children at Harmony Playground. The nanny was also dancing very wildly and using a lot of hip intonations that made me uncomfortable. Not at all appropriate to be showing a five year old how to gyrate and dance like a nincompoop all around a public park. Your daughter has frizzy, brown hair is very thin and was wearing a red halter with white flowers on it and a pair of denim shorts that had a reddish tint to them. The nanny was wearing a white baseball viser, a white T-shirt that said "Dunlop" and a pair of blue jeans that were rolled up to her shins. The nanny was holding her leather, brown sandals. The nanny was wild about her music, but was on many people's last nerve. The nanny spoke as if from the Caribbean Islands, had thick, dark hair that was neatly coiffed and big, wide set eyes. We were away from the water fountains and sprinklers, so it was very annoying when nanny went wild with her water bottle. Maybe your daughter was having a down day and nanny was trying to cheer her. Maybe. I'm trying to be fair, but nanny wasn't very fair to the people in her immediate area of the park.
*I just want to add that nanny was singing a song about a lolly pop and doing inappropriate moves to the song. She was mouthing "like me like a lollipop" as she sang, but to these little girls. Do you want your girls singing and dancing like that? They are 5ish, not 15!
OK, so here we have a nanny playing with her charge.
ReplyDeleteA dancing nanny, sprinkling children with water. "Maybe...nanny was trying to cheer" her charge. How is that a bad sighting?
If we ever have a nanny, I hope she is as fun as this one sounds!
ReplyDeletelol@ "hip intonations"
:)
Hmm...95 degree day, nanny sprinkling kids with water and dancing around with them despite the intense heat and humidity? Sounds like a good catch to me!
ReplyDeleteI dunno. I think I'd rather my kids have a dancing, singing, water bottle spraying nincompoop any day of the week over a lazy, good-for-nothing park bench Nanny ... but that's just me.
ReplyDeleteWhile I think it's ridiculous to post a sighting about a nanny having fun with her charge, if she was singing the song I THINK she was singing (by Lil Wayne), then yes, it was highly inappropriate.
ReplyDeleteO.k., so throw the nanny to the gallows.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there worse going on right now?
Shoot, I wish I had been there!
I took my child to Harmony Park today, specifically for the water play. I saw the nanny but I didn't realize she was a nanny. I wasn't close enough to hear anything specific. I could tell that she was loud. At first I thought it was an argument in process and when I looked over and saw this woman who was probably in her late 30's, flopping all around, I thought she was a "special" person.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she was a nanny. I looked at the mothers watching her and their faces were kind of frozen and scared, but like they were trying to be polite. The song, which I could not hear, does not sound appropriate but I don't think this person knew any better and fortunately the moms and children around her were really tolerant of her differences.
It goes "Lick me like a lollipop."
ReplyDeleteInterpreting you know what.
V.
That wasn't a bad nanny. Just an annoying one.
ReplyDeleteGive me a break.
When I read this post, I understood the OP must have meant "lick me like a lollipop" instead of what she wrote. I understood that she meant that the nanny was dancing suggestively, meaning too sexually, and that she was gyrating her hips inappropriately ("hip intonations"). This is what I thought the OP meant. If this is indeed what the OP saw, I wouldn't want my child singing like this or being in the presence of someone dancing like this, let along their own caregiver!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see so many commenters did not seem to get the same impression. Maybe the OP can repost and clarify.
And, I think whether the child is 5 or 15, I wouldn't want either a girl, or a boy, singing such a song!
I agree with fox in socks. The line actually is "I lick like a lollipop" but it doesen't matter anyway. I wouldn't want my 5 or 50 year old around that kind of behavior.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds highly inappropriate!
ReplyDeleteoh please!! Stop being so uptight..first you all bitch and complain about the nannies sitting on their asses doing nothing..now, here you have a nanny dancing and having fun with the kids and you bitch about that?
ReplyDeleteI hope who ever employs this woman, knows how lucky thet are to have an interactive nanny ..your children will have a fun summer.
to all of you whiners and snotty NY mommies..so what if she is a little different..not everyone can have a stick up their ass like you..get a life!
I dance around the living room with my girls all the time to "baby got back"..I always tell them shake your booty
ReplyDeleteIt is harmless fun and FYI..there are several "clean" versions of the song the nanny was dancing to on the market!
Not everyone loves R& B or Country Western.
She wasn't talking about a stick up her ass, she was talking about a stick on a lollipop. Which is of couse a delicious treat for children, and highy appropriate for 5 year olds. All children love lollipops...so I'm not sure what you could possibly think is inappropriate about this nanny's behavior. Except of course for the fact that if she can dance and sing, she should join the Rockettes rather than wasting her fabulous singing and dancing talents on a 5 year old charge.

ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love R&B and Country Western?????? Nobody.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have against whiners and snotty NY mommies???? I love being a snotty, whiny, NY nanny...and much richer than you are.
ReplyDeletepeop;e it is too hot for this shit
ReplyDeleteWhile I think this song, which comes on pop music stations, is inappropriate for teens (who are thinking about sex and the innuendo will occur to them). I think that a 5 year old will (hopefully) take the words for face value and think of a sweet treat. Since the nanny wasn't playing the song, just singing a line or two out of it, I see nothing wrong with it. In fact, it seems like she was having fun amongst a group of snoots.
ReplyDeleteWell, let's hope she didn't sing anything but the hook.
ReplyDeleteWhat shocks me is the women in here that are trying to pretend that they do not know that song is about oral sex. That they think this is an appropriate song for this nanny to be singing to kids and also to be teaching them to dance like those rappers.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder those other moms and nannies were shocked. Watching a grown woman singing this crap to those kids and teaching them how to dance to this stuff? Dancing suggestively in front of them?
This is ok?
O.k., I knew what the song was "about", but figured if she was just singing the "lick like a lollipop" part, it would be harmless, but I'm beginning to think maybe not so much now.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to get a visual (hate when that happens! lol) .... and she obviously knew this song, and we weren't there, but maybe it was inappropriate, with the gyrating hips and everything.
This is one of those "you had to be there" sightings, I think.
The video/words to the song certainly put it into perspective, though.
I am the OP of the post and I don't think the nanny was special needs. I am 99 percent sure she was a nanny and I studied the scene from a far to figure out who she was minding.
ReplyDeleteThe full lyrics to the song:

My question-
Why would you want anyone teaching your child any part of this song???It's ugly, hateful and lewd.
How bout these lyrics instead?
ReplyDelete"Sweeter than candy on a stick..
Huckleberry, cherry or li-ime...
If you had your choice, he'd be your pick,
But Lollipop is
mi-yi-ine......"
:)
Maybe she was a lonely MILF trying to attract a dad in the park?
ReplyDeleteYou don't know how many times I get hit on by sloppy moms and naughty nannies while in the park with my son (16 months old). They see the ring, but have no shame about it. I'm not talking about innocent chit chat while the kids are sharing toys or chasing each other.
Ive even been hit on when my wife walked out the park briefly to buy a bottle in Duanne Reade. Shameless.
op: for you to write out every lyric to this ridiculous song makes it seem that you are jealous of the nanny, come on
ReplyDeleteOP did not need to expose the lyrics openly in this post. I had already posted a link to those, and the video @ 12:25.
ReplyDeleteEw...
ReplyDeleteI'd almost forgotten why I stopped listening to the hip-hop stations years ago.
Thanks for the reminder.
I'm gonna go clean my ears out with some country music.
That song is completely inappropriate for a five year old. Even if she had no idea what the lyrics meant, would you want your five year old repeating them? I can't stand the dirty dancing, short shirts, heavy makeup, and nasty music that kids are getting into younger and younger. The Bratz dolls are disgusting and Hannah Montana is a little skank. Perhaps we wouldn't have so many pedofiles if the average 12 year old didn't look and act like they were 20!
ReplyDeletewhoa! i know that song. i like it but that's pretty bad for kids. but you know what, at least she was being a fun nanny.
ReplyDeleteSickening!
ReplyDeleteShe might as well have been showing the children how to do a striptease. And with all the talk on this blog about pedophiles laying in wait at parks, what a spectacle this nanny created. Seriously disgusting!
anon nanny 1156..you can make all the money in the world and you will always be the girl trying so hard to fit in but never really does.
ReplyDeleteYou have no class and that is simply something you cannot buy.
Your ghetto remarks give you away girlfriend!
You are no wealthy ny nanny..whiny I'll buy that!
Charlie
ReplyDeleteYou sure do think very highly of yourself.
"sloppy moms"? That's a bit of a rude blanket statement.
charlie,
ReplyDeletemaybe they just feel sorry for you.
Oh. I get it, "sorry charlie".
ReplyDeletecute.
Here are three summer hits that have probably reached all playgrounds in New York City at this point. My opinion for what it is worth is that if the nanny was hopefully censoring the song and not using all the dirty edit.....Hey! Why not have a little bump and grind! Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteWords of wisdom;
If you do not like to subject your children to the culture of the world especially in big cities then here is an idea????? Maybe you should look after your own children and maybe not hire young or old women who have a sense of wildness and fun! And whoa if she is black I do not think there is any way out of it as these women can dance and most of the nannies in your average playground are black.
A Professional Nanny who is white and loves silly songs and silly appropriate play with a little hipity hop thrown in for good measure!
Three summer hits from White Professional Nanny.

Good heavens.
ReplyDeleteImagine if she'd brought a milkshake to the yard and decided to sing about it.
Wooo Hoooo Milk Shakes!

There are children in this video. The whole video is totally a little outrageous but, its fine! Its not filthy jut a little cheeky. The little girls dance well it's all about the hips.
We know what this is all bout ladies but, the children just don't! Let's not corrupt their minds with what we know and just ignore it!
White Professional Nanny.
W.P.N
The irony is, all of those Park Slope moms probably still listen to all of their 80's college music and don't have a problem with it.
ReplyDeleteI've been to that playground once.
First, another mother congratulated me on number two, since I was fat and she assumed I must be pregnant. (None of the OTHER mothers are fat!)
Second, my daughter started playing with one of the tic-tac-toe boards on the playground and another toddler, a boy joined her. He leaned across her to turn a piece. His mother ran up and apologized to me. For what?, I asked. For her son being too aggressive, was the response. Then she took her son away. My daughter looked sad.
We haven't been back.
How absolutely nauseating. If I wanted my son (let alone a daughter!) to be subjected to garbage like that, I'd wait at a bus stop and count how many rude %(!~)@+%$#'s go by blaring it out their vibrating vehicles so you can hear it 2 blocks away, not PAY someone to teach him the lyrics and the nasty moves from a crap music video.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, I LOVE to dance, just about any style, even hip-hop moves and sounds to some extent, and I love to move the hips, but most of the "rap" crap that passes for music is just utter garbage, violent, sleazy, and completely without any redeeming qualities. Even if she was only singing a couple of the lyrics, she probably cranks the song up in the car whenever she drives the girls around, or when they're at home, and if I were the parent, I'd rather she didn't.
Hey cali mom...
ReplyDeleteWe're talking about a park in Brooklyn. It's in New York, a place where neither parents, nor nannies, spend a whole lot of time driving kids around.
But thanks for your two cents, nohow. "Even hip-hop moves and sounds to some extent"? Priceless! You go, girl!
12:14, I hadn't thought about the driving in NYC, I see what you mean. I tried to clarify that I do enjoy that music sometimes, so that people wouldn't just say I was prejudiced against rap or hip hop of any kind, but those lyrics are just gross and don't belong anwhere except in an X-rated movie scene.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why I don't live in Brooklyn - all of you Nanny watching wackos. Get a life.
ReplyDeleteWe're not watching the nannies, we're watching out for the children of our neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a village.
This is why I don't allow my children to use public transportation.
ReplyDeleteMy nanny loves hip hop. I came home early and she was playing with my daughter and there was rap blaring the background. I heard some very offensive lyrics. I may have snapped at her because I had a bad day but her response was so ridiculous. She claimed she liked the beat and not the lyrics but if she sang along, she never said "n-----" or "moth---fu----" or "fu--" or "sh--".
ReplyDeleteI said, "but you have it BLARING in the living room". The nanny stood up, sashayed over to the sound system, snapped it off and said, "and you wonder why you people end up with couch potatoes".
I glared at her. She glared at me.
My daughter started working on a puzzle. The nanny quit without notice the next week. (Never showed up on Monday. Never called and I never heard from her again).
Lesson I have learned-
Never, never, never come between a nanny and her tunes.
Yo Hilary at 1:33-
ReplyDeleteyou're done.
First of all I find this hysterical. If I had seen this I probably would have started laughing.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way in hell I want my kids to be learning that dance or that song, but it happens. They don't know what "lick me like a lollipop" is refering to and as long as they aren't pulling down their pants and pulling up thier shirts than thats fine.
How is this any different than the hip-hop dance lessons they have for kids at community centers or dance studios?
She sounds like a fun, yet somewhat inapropriate nanny..relax...
W.P.N
ReplyDeleteJeeeeeze............if you have not hired a professional then you should re think your whole life and budget! A professional would sing a wonderful clean version. I myself sing everything from the classic songs to some adapted contemporary ones. If this nanny was seriously saying words that children should just not be exposed to (where possible here in New York City). I have heard some of the worst language in the parks and choose my parks very carefully! Then PLEASE HIRE SOMEONE WHO YOU CAN TRUST 100% without ever having any surprises! Quite simple! or again.........Look after them yourselves darlings!
This park sounds vicious and I must say it has not a good rep sounds like a zoo of animals and ridiculous nanny watching mommy armies! I believe in community watching for the safety of children but, petty silliness and mothers who do not spend any time with their children keeping a hawks eye on women who look after the children for at least 10 hours a day........seems like a scary park to me.....
W.P.N.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
Your post is fabulous and to the point!
I hope to see you often.
What a shame that whomever posted this comment is obviously culturally ignorant AND might I add - A RACIST, and she sounds like... no fun at all!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anonymous. I am going to try and speak out more often. Not only am I White Professional Nanny which is somewhat rare I am honestly one of the best nannies I know. i was literally coming home from interviews yesterday and I saw three little girls singing some outrageous song and it was getting steamy. I tried so hard to hear what on earth they were going on about without seeming like a total freak but, honestly I just kept laughing at them. They were punching the air and doing the butterfly and pushing this and that in the air. It was hilarious and probably uncomfortable for those who do not deal with children all the time.
ReplyDeleteThese were Upper East Side white 7 years olds with there mommies who were very involved in their conversation (this is not a criticism moms). All I heard is;
"We live in Brooklyn uh uh uh".
"Bro Bro Bro Bro KER LYNNNNNNNN".
More wiggles and botty shakes.......
(the dancing was more provocative then the singing)!!!!!!
It made my day! I can imagine these girls have never been to Brooklyn.
