363.0. "Nannies" by MILPND::PERM (Kevin R. Ossler) Mon Aug 06 1990 15:48

I thought this was discussed somewhere, but I could not find it.
Moderators, please feel free to move this where appropriate. 

A person in my group here mentioned to me that she would like to hire a
Mormon to be a "live-in babysitter." She asked me if I knew anyone who
might be interested. Yes, she specifically wants a Mormon. 

I told her that there were many hundreds of young women working as
"nannies," some of whom are even here in New England. 

I am somehow under the impression that there is some office somewhere that
coordinates the availability of nannies. My memory is such that I cannot
remember if this was a Church or non-Church organization. 

Has anyone else heard of such an organization, or am I just imagining it?
Alternatively, is there some kind of Stake person who typically handles
such inquiries? 

Thanks,
/kevin

	I've seen ads in some LDS related (not Church sponsored) magazines for nannies. I think the ads were from placement places trying to recruit new nannies. The ENSIGN for February 1988 has an article on nannies. (see note 74.2)
363.2	Ask a nannie	SULTRY::LENF		`Tue Aug 07 1990 15:44`	20
	There are two or three companies, not church related that provide nannies. They recruit from different areas where they have been succesful in the past. Utah is one of those areas. The Church as no means of helping someone get an LDS nannie. In fact a few years ago theyput out an article in the Ensign suggesting that a girl consider very carefully the decision of being a nanny since it seems so romantic to travel to a new area and be away from the control of one's own parents, but they should realize that it is hard work, and that the girl becomes subject to the control of a new set of parents/bosses. There are indeed quite a few living in New England, and any of them could tell you of the firm that they used to find that job. I looked into this for a co-worker a few years ago. I finally decided to keep out of it. and just to refer him to such agencies. Have a good day, Len
363.3	Contacts within the Morman Church	ASABET::MINER		`Wed Aug 07 1991 12:34`	19
	Hello, I have been raised around mormons all my life. I understand the relegion very well, even though I am catholic. I am expecting a baby this Sept. and am looking for a live in nannie. Can anyone give me names of Bishops or contacts in the church so I can inquire about nannies. My husband and I live in Mass. and really would love to have a nannie that has good family relations and beliefs help us raise our child. Any help is appreciated Thanks Mary
363.4		CACHE::LEIGH	Let your light shine	`Wed Aug 07 1991 13:47`	13
	Hi Mary, Because the "nanny business" is a commercial venture, I expect most Bishops would not want to get involved with recommendations. You might call the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce and ask them for referrals to companies who provide nannies. The directory assistance # for Utah is (801) 555-1212. There are several LDS-related publications (not published by the Church) that carry recruiting ads from nanny companies. Perhaps members of this conference who subscribe to those publications can post names & phone numbers of the companies. Allen
