As the mother of a young son, I would hire a male nanny- if I were in the market for one. Norland has admitted its first male student into its prestigious bachelors program.

I think it should definitely be considered, especially if there is no male role model or father figure in the home. Boys need it.

I relaize that some people will be resistent and even question a male’s presence in such a female-dominated industry. Just give him the same thorough interview process you would any other. After all, he will be caring for your kids.

But moms, let’s not subject him to the harassment that many of his female counterparts have endured. (smile)
