Comments on: Beverly Hills Nannies: Fact or Fiction? An Interview with Katie Vaughan of Westside Nannies http://www.enannysource.com/blog/index.php/2012/08/22/beverly-hills-nannies-fact-or-fiction-an-interview-with-katie-vaughan-of-westside-nannies/ Nanny News & Views for nannies and families Tue, 07 May 2013 11:10:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Kelly http://www.enannysource.com/blog/index.php/2012/08/22/beverly-hills-nannies-fact-or-fiction-an-interview-with-katie-vaughan-of-westside-nannies/comment-page-1/#comment-8422 Kelly Sun, 30 Sep 2012 04:32:13 +0000 http://www.enannysource.com/blog/?p=766#comment-8422 Thank you for this! Ever since that show began, I get all of these questions when I mention that I am a nanny. Sadly I think the show paints a very poor picture of us. I typically don't put on make up for work, I wear either jeans or khakis with a nice top, I drive the family SUV, I make a median nanny salary and get partial benefits. I am educated, have nanny and daycare experience. I cook, do laundry, light cleaning, and run errands. I would not trade a day at my job for one day of a job like those from the show. No matter what the salary or benefits appear to be. I enjoy what I do and don't want to do anything else! My rewards come in the form of hugs not a huge unrealistic paycheck. Thank you for this!

So let's hear it for the Mom's and Thank you Cindy for being the nicest mom on that show. :) I know you’ve probably gotten quite a few emails about Beverly Hills Nannies recently, but I just recently got hooked on it and I just wanted to say that Cindy seems like the coolest, nicest, most patient mom and Scott is the best manny. :) I love both their outlooks and Cindy’s kids being a gift to her, and I love how she treats both Kristen and Scott.

I am glad that someone has responded to the ridiculousness of this show. I have done a lot of research for nanny positions and I know that it is rare to find jobs that pay that much. Nor would they even think about hiring someone with little childcare experience. Additionally, the "nannies" on the show are highly unprofessional and have crossed countless boundaries that are healthy for employers and employees to have. Lastly, the "head" nanny doesn't know the first thing about starting a business. Her "placement agency" is no where near legitimate and no family would actually use her to find nannies for them. Thank you again for writing this! Thank you very much for posting this article. I am glad that someone has responded to the ridiculousness of this show.
