Families are opting1 to hire mannies to watch their kids.And I start out first hand about only have to offer.
She is the most iconic nanny of all time, but now it's time to say goodbye to Mary Poppins and say hello to manny Poppins.That's what Sophia character Gloria did on a recent episode of modern family.
Gloria, we are back.
Who are you?
I'm the new manny.
Am I being replaced?
So what exactly is a manny, we went straight to the source to find out.
A manny is
essentially2 a male nanny, but we brought it to a new level. We call it a big brother, we can it a mentour, we call it a camp
counselor3.
John is the co-founder of NYC Mannies, a New-York city based only-nanny agency with a fleet of 50 or so mannies, that he says do the job just as well as the female nanny most people are used to.
I think guys make great curricular, they can be just as caring, they can be just as good with kids, so I don't really like to just put a
gender4 role on it.
Many mums agree, especially those with particular active kids that benefit from a more rough and tumble approach to childcare.
My personal preference is always young, enthusiastic and energetic, because my daughter,that's what she likes. When it comes to male-babysitter or manny whatever I want to call them, they just try a little harder. It seems, you know, they just make an extra effort to prove that they are
awesome5.
I
decided6 to see how a manny will handle my 19-month old son Jake. His regular nanny Shamon was
skeptical7 but she handed him over to John for an afternoon at an indoor playground. The other nannies and mums raised their
eyebrows8 at first but then quickly came around.
I must say he is doing a really good job and Jake is very comfortable with him.
And Jake well, he had a great time too.
We say goodmorning America.That was close enough.
Always got it,right?
Pretty close,he is got a future.
Yeah, he does. John the owner of NYC mannies told us that he became a manny because he lost his father at a very young age and he thinks it's very important that kids have positive male role models in their lives as well as starting at a young age they can bound with mannies as well as their own female nannies.
