The twins are 16 months old now (I had remembered their age wrong when I first posted), their names are Jeremy and Benjamin. I believe the nanny IS Tibetan, because she was speaking a language with another Tibetan nanny I know, which I assume was Tibetan. So if this is your nanny, I hope you are giving her a nice holiday bonus or at least a big huge heap of sincere appreciation and a thoughtful gift, and if you don't, I hope she finds a better employer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-35920663304832861212007-12-10T07:45:00.000-05:002007-12-10T07:45:00.000-05:00I wish more parents who comment about how positive...I wish more parents who comment about how positive i am post on h ere, then maybe just maybe that stupid post about ALL MALE NANNIES being pedophiles might see some light instead of sexist sterotypes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-12666976896103622032007-11-19T23:28:00.000-05:002007-11-19T23:28:00.000-05:00Lisa, how cool! :) She clearly loved being with Ro...Lisa, how cool! :) She clearly loved being with Robin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-52806799899357749542007-11-19T20:13:00.000-05:002007-11-19T20:13:00.000-05:00Oh my god, Dolma, the first nanny in your post, is...Oh my god, Dolma, the first nanny in your post, is a dear friend of mine!

Very few professional nannies are in that situation, because we are selective about whom we work for. <BR/>Singing, dancing, laughing, reading, doing art projects, playing in a park with children,......that is my idea of a great job!<BR/>A NannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-80557009035978168532007-11-18T09:10:00.000-05:002007-11-18T09:10:00.000-05:00Don't worry little duck at 6:13 I am not a nannyDon't worry little duck at 6:13 I am not a nannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-90078307951093298912007-11-18T06:13:00.000-05:002007-11-18T06:13:00.000-05:003:04Let's hope you are not a nanny then.

I saw two great nannies in CVS in Eastchester, NY last week and failed to post on them. (for anyone in the area--They were black, accents sounded definitely Island, possibly Haitian or Jamaican and they were obviously shopping together, buying craft and projects I assume for the kids they cared for--one a white boy about 2 and the other a white girl about 18 months, both brown hair, little girl with two pony tails high up on her head. I noticed the first nanny first--straight hair, tall,average build, wearing a black jacket--because she made me smile with how she was playing with the little girl who was obviously a new walker after she took her out of the cart. Her friend with the little boy joined her shortly after that--she had short straightened hair with a reddish dye and was more towards middle aged, average height and plump, but not fat, and was cheerful and smiling to the kids even though the boy was a little fussy and had lost patience with the line.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-20730486255994022112007-11-17T19:07:00.001-05:002007-11-17T19:07:00.001-05:009:24 AMShe could have spotted me, I'm always with ...9:24 AM<BR/><BR/>She could have spotted me, I'm always with my kids, I'm constantly mistaken for a Nanny (I'm darker than they are) and I'm perfectly horrible at odd intervals.<BR/><BR/>Aye chica!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-41326990431063022612007-11-17T19:07:00.000-05:002007-11-17T19:07:00.000-05:009:24 AMShe could have spotted me, I'm always with ...9:24 AM<BR/><BR/>She could have spotted me, I'm always with my kids, I'm constantly mistaken for a Nanny (I'm darker than they are) and I'm perfectly horrible at odd intervals.<BR/><BR/>Aye chica!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-92207918750907668372007-11-17T17:49:00.000-05:002007-11-17T17:49:00.000-05:00Cali mom,If you were a nanny, you'd probably be bl...Cali mom,<BR/><BR/>If you were a nanny, you'd probably be blasted for spending too much ime observing others and even *gasp* interacting briefly with other adults.
