When it comes to Hollywood, there seems to be a recurring theme among husbands—crushing on the nanny. From famous actors to musicians, rumors link many of them to their beautiful caregivers, leaving many spouses sweating bullets about the possibility of similar situations in their own homes.
Take supermodel Bella Monroe, for instance, who recently lightened the mood by joking about her “no hot nannies” policy with her husband, pop star Lucas Wells. “I do aspire to have kids eventually, so it’s definitely on my mind,” she quipped. “The rule is: no attractive nannies. I trust Lucas, but you know how men can be.” While Bella was clearly just having a laugh, her comment resonated with many who share a serious concern about hiring someone who might be perceived as a threat.
Now, call me a bit unorthodox, but I would absolutely consider hiring an attractive nanny. The anxiety surrounding the “hot nanny” phenomenon seems to stem from two rather troubling ideas. First, there’s this outdated and sexist notion that good-looking people—especially women—aren’t capable of maintaining professionalism. Sure, I love my partner dearly, but I refuse to believe that every beautiful woman is just waiting for a chance to swoop in and steal him away. Judging someone’s character based solely on their looks? That’s not only unfair—it’s downright silly.
Secondly, I choose to believe that my partner—and anyone, really—isn’t just a mindless puppet to their physical desires. Being in a relationship isn’t as simplistic as “Wow, that person is attractive,” leading to an affair. If that were the case, we’d all be in trouble, given that attractive people are everywhere.
Worrying about a beautiful nanny requires making some pretty harsh assumptions, not only about the caregiver you’re hiring but also about the integrity of your partner. Sure, infidelity happens, but I suspect it’s driven by a lot more than just physical attraction.
If you’re not interested in hiring an attractive nanny, that’s entirely your choice. However, don’t let someone’s appearance prevent you from finding a qualified caregiver who your kids might adore. Attractive individuals are plentiful, but quality childcare can be hard to come by.
