Wealthy parents are hiring super nannies to care for them, too
NY Post ^ | September 15, 2018 | Dana Schuster

Twice a week, at around 11 p.m., Jeff Goldstein stretches out, turns on his spa playlist, lights a candle and gets a 90-minute massage — courtesy of his children’s nanny.

“At first, [I felt] a little awkward,” admitted Goldstein, 41, who has two kids and co-owns the celeb-favorite clothing boutique Blue & Cream in the Hamptons and East Village with his wife, Samantha Greenes. “But then, it was so, so good.”

Having a nanny who can teach your kid a second language doesn’t cut it anymore in New York City’s elite circles. Now there’s a fleet of super nannies who will design custom dresses for the tots, give moms daily blowouts and, yes, even massage the boss.

Just ask Limor Weinstein, who owns a nanny-consulting business, LW Wellness, in Manhattan.

Fun until your husband runs off with the super-nanny you hired.

It would be kind of hard to top Juliet Mills as Phoebe Phigalilly in Nanny and the Professor.

Any woman who brings a young “nanny” into the house is CRAZY.

I’m willing to bet that some of the wealthy people who hire super nannies would still put themselves into the “I’m a victim oppressed by society” category. Because, you know, Trump.

I wanna a super duper super nanny. If she massages even one toe a day, she owns me.

There used to be (may still be) websites for European nannies looking for jobs overseas. A goodly number of them had the looks to be swim suit models. My wife pointed out we didn’t have any kids in the house. I told her they also cooked and cleaned so it might be a good idea to hire one, for my wife’s sake of course. She totally ignored my advice (as usual).

“...give moms daily blowouts ...”

How about a daily “blowout” for dad?

These same woman hire strapping young tennis pros for private lessons. It's all decadence and debauchery for these wealthy Democrats.

I actually misread that line initially and had to try again.

With respect to your example... some things are worth a divorce. /s

We truly live in a decadent society.

This will not end well.

The super-nanny sounds like the upper servant of yesteryear.

I have to wonder about the massages, though. Doesn’t sound like a good idea to have a member of the opposite sex doing this under your own roof.

11 pm massage.

Nothing of concern there for the wife.

Wife: *He's always sound asleep when she's done with him

She added that these super nannies often command $10 more an hour than the $20-an-hour going rate.

In New York City, that is not very good pay. Nannies charge $15-$20 here in low-rent Boring, NC. Of course, if nobody's paying any payroll or income taxes, it comes out better ...

Sounds like a plot from one of those “Lifetime” movies my wife likes. Wives in these households need to make sure they stay away from knife blocks, fireplace tools, and the tops of staircases when the nanny is nearby.
