NYC Nanny 101: Other Voices

In the series NYC Nanny 101: The finding and care of your nanny Parts 1 and 2 I've tried to lay out some basic tips on finding a caregiver in New York, the interview and salaries. But there are lots of different perspectives on this issue. And some of them will make you wet your pants. Enjoy:

Babble did a special issue on Nannies. It's a great collection of articles with lots of different perspectives and definitely worth a look. You'll find everything from a review of The Nanny Diaries to the thoughts of a former British nanny and a West Indian woman who lives in Park Slope between the two worlds of the mainly West Indian nanny population and the mainly white parents. Overall, a very well-done series.

For a completely different (read insanely funny-or possibly just insane) perspective on nanny advice, take a look at Bloggy McBlog Blog's post on how to keep your husband from sleeping with the nanny.

And Mom-101 does another superb job of making all of our inner fears, regrets and embarrassments seem funny in her post Die Yuppie Scum.
