My sister and I both have nannies. And both our nannies are young and very pretty. I never noticed how pretty my nanny was until other people around me started making comments. For instance, our yard guy is totally infatuated with her. (BTW, he's twice her age and doesn't speak any English). He always buys her lunch when he knows she's here. And our handyman, who's around her age is always asking me about her. One day when my grandmother was visiting she said your nanny is really pretty. I never really paid attention to her looks, I just cared about how she interacted with DD3. We've had several nannies and she's the only one who can really handle her.

My sister and I were talking one day and she said that her neighbor passed a comment about my sister being "stupid" for having a young pretty nanny around her husband. And that my sister was just "asking" for trouble. :jawdrop: We just laughed it off because we both trust our husbands, and we both know that looks don't play a role when it comes to cheating. Remember how Arnold Schwarzenegger cheated with the maid? And she was not young or pretty!

Nope. My babysitter is young but homely and socially awkward with adults. She is awesome with the kids, but me having a conversation with her makes me want to beat my head with the wall. DH will wait til he is sure I am home before coming home }:)

It maybe be total insecurity on my part but there is no way I would have a nanny who is young and beautiful.

Im not sure about this, my husband has a type and I think if he were to do something it wouldn't be with the nanny that takes care of our children. Sure he'd look but when doesn't he look lol. I wouldn't sacrifice the opportunity for an excellent nanny just cause id wonder if she's screwing my husband, if she acted inappropriate then shed be gone.

I probably wouldn't. Even though I don't consider myself a jealous person, DH looking at Megan Fox on TV is a bit different than a mini version in my home.

What matters most to me is how she'd interact with the kids. If she looks like Barbie, it doesn't matter as long as she's good to the kids.

I once read somewhere that women cheat UP as in with a more attractive, successful man than their partner. And Men cheat DOWN meaning they go for less attractive, successful affair partners. So hot nanny? They probably wouldn't have the balls to go for it, but I still wouldn't tempt my husband.
