Infidelity involving nannies is becoming alarmingly common, especially among high-profile individuals whose marriages have crumbled after straying with the babysitter. Consider the cases of celebrities like Jake Thompson and Zach Matthews, who faced public scrutiny for their questionable choices. Did they not learn from the fallout of past indiscretions, like that of Henry Gold when he became involved with his children’s caregiver?
As a mother, the stories of such betrayals frustrate me. Cheating on your partner is already bad enough, but doing so with someone entrusted with your children’s safety is inexcusable. Finding a satisfying intimate relationship should not come at the expense of losing good help. So, if you find yourself in a situation where your spouse may be tempted, consider the following guidelines to maintain the integrity of your home and marriage.
First and foremost, it’s wise to avoid hiring a nanny who could be seen as overly attractive. Even if you believe your relationship is strong and your husband is devoted, do you really want a young woman flaunting her assets in your home? It’s not about hiring someone unattractive, but rather ensuring that she doesn’t exude an overwhelming amount of confidence.
Once you’ve selected a nanny who fits this description, here are additional tips to ensure your marriage remains intact:
- Ensure the nanny is responsible for bathing the children, not your husband.
- Steer clear of discussing topics like “threesomes” around the nanny.
- Have her shop for kids’ toys, but never for intimate items.
- When your husband has an off day, invite the nanny over to distract him from romantic notions.
- Clarify that sleepovers with the nanny do not mean sharing a bed with her.
- Make it clear that any plans you have do not include her.
- During interviews, focus on her hobbies rather than personal preferences.
- Avoid hiring nannies whose resumes prominently feature modeling photos.
- If she finds your husband’s jokes amusing, remind her that humor wears thin with repetition.
- Reinforce the idea that a nanny’s uniform should include appropriate undergarments.
- If your nanny requests to leave early for personal grooming, counter by asking her to stay longer.
- Be cautious about hiring nannies from schools known for their attractive students.
- Avoid marrying someone like Jake Thompson.
- Steer clear of partners who exhibit untrustworthy behavior.
- Don’t involve the nanny in any last-ditch efforts to mend your marriage, as two is company but three can lead to disaster.
