So, Tomi had a post over at MilkFactory that was talking about an on-call nanny service and I mentioned how one of my short-list of things to do after college is become a nanny for two years or so and that two nannying agencies had told me that they wouldn't accept applications from males. Now, I could file lawsuits, which would be fun, because last time I checked, a vagina was not a bona fide employment qualification for taking care of children, but I may just get even! =) Naw, but the idea sounds fun.. start my own male-nanny service!
NannyBoi, Inc.
"I think it's good for kids to know nannies that are male because it helps diffuse the gender-myth that women are the best care-takers, therefore it should be their duty. That's why I use NannyBoi. That and the kids just have so much fun!"--Ms. Thompson, satisfied NannyBoi customer
While society likes to force gender-myths on all of us, NannyBoi, Inc. can help you and your children be gender activists even while you're having a night out on the town.
Call 800-Nanny-XY!
Remember, that's 800-Nanny-XY!
(side-note, here's a picture of me with Theo, a kid I took care of before I came to college)
How cute!
