Freepers, please answer a question. Why does anyone need a nanny?
My chances of having a nanny are about as likely as Michael Moore getting down to 185 pounds.
many american households where both mother and father work full time jobs, have a babysitter that they pay to watch their children.
What does Mrs. Kerick do all day? And, while I don't know Mr. Kerick's age, he doesn't look like he would have children who would need a nanny. On the other hand, my father was 50 when I was born. I do think Mr. Kerick would have done a fine job - he's a fighter and no "empty suit".
She took care of the children so I could actually go to the supermarket alone. She watched the children on some occasions so I could leave the house for a meeting or a lunch date.
She helped with the housework. Did laundry.
A nanny is deemed super necessary to take care of the kids while the wife is off doing important shopping, getting her hair arranged and playing cards with her friends. Gosh, I thought everyone knew how important matters like these have to be dealt with every day by important ladies ( I know some myself and they all have illegal nannies helping out at home for a fee). If it is a pol's wife, she needs nannies like a drunk needs a drink. Politicians are the worst offenders and that may account for their failure to fix illegal immigration--their wives will not allow them to deport the nannies, cooks, gardeners or drivers.
