Would you hire a hot nanny?

So we just interviewed the Mary Freaking Poppins of nannies. Aside from her steep price tag, she is perfect in every way. She is also 24 and stunningly attractive. I know my husband is a faithful man, but can't help wondering if we would end up "that couple" whose husband ended up sleeping with the nanny while she was on a business trip. I'm crazy right? That is totally not a reason to not hire her....right??? I totally loved her.

Re: Would you hire a hot nanny?

  • Hmmm. I may hesitate. I probably would though. I like to believe my dh is faithful no matter what. :-/
    BFP #1 (7/13/12) MC (8/14) 9 weeks. D & C 8/17.
    BFP #2 (5/18/13) due 1/26/14. Grow baby grow!
    Its a surprise! Team green!

  • Eh, looks only go so far.
  • No, I wouldn't feel comfortable. Depends on the man, but why temp fate? I'm reminded of the hot nanny in sex & the city.

  • Is she going to be a live-in? We've had a few hot babysitters over the years but they always went home at the end of the day :)
     
  • I love the honesty here!! I also know H would be faithful, just like most of our H's here, but I still don't think I'd go for it as much as I hate to admit it. I just wouldn't want to think about what he's thinking every time he's around her. Maybe it's just my current insecurity.

    She'd be live out for sure, but I'm also struggling with body image post three kids and I do travel.... I just don't like temptation. Then again I'm going to be the one working with her for the majority of the time. I totally feel like I'm being superficial and insecure here. She really seems awesome.

  • I wouldn't. I know DH would be faithful, but because of past relationships and what not I have trust issues and wouldn't be comfortable with it. Plus I'm still self conscious about my body.
  • If she's the right person for the job, hire her. I'm sure in time there will be a few things you'll notice that will make you feel better and not worry about her with your husband. Remember, he has three kiddos with you not her!

  • All kidding aside, good providers are hard to come by. If she's a good fit I'd hire her. When you're traveling he will be taking over when she leaves for the day. He will have other things to think about...like keeping 3 kids entertained for the rest of the night.
     
  • If she is a good fit I would hire her. It's hard to find nannies you love. But then again I can't really see myself very worried about infidelity while on a business trip so either I'm that cocky or naive.
    But I think it's worth at least giving it a shot.

  • I'd hire her. Honestly, it's no different than your husband working with attractive women outside of the home. Temptation is everywhere
  • Her looks wouldn't concern me if her qualifications were what we wanted. However. It only takes suspicion, not proof, to have issues with trust. That being said, and since you've already raised the question of 'would you hire her,' it's now on your mind so I would continue looking for another nanny/babysitter!
  • Our nanny is tall, blond, thin and 10 years younger than me. It's completely fine. My husband sees a lot of attractive women every day and doesn't cheat, so why would he choose the nanny?

  • I would. I feel if your secure in your relationship and haven't had any issues with infidelity, than go with who you think is best with your children. You would probably worry more about someone you didn't feel 100 percent comfortable leaving your children with on a daily basis than your husband actually cheating.

  • I would hesitate...but, I trust my husband and I know he wouldn't do anything, even if we hired a very attractive nanny. I think that when you're in a relationship/marriage, temptation may arise, but if you truely trust someone then you shouldn't have to worry.
