15 Tips to Keep Your Husband from Getting Involved with the Nanny

Let’s talk about a trend that’s been popping up more than we’d like to admit: husbands getting cozy with the nanny. Seriously, it’s like a plot twist that never seems to go out of style. Just look at the recent headlines; many well-known men have seen their marriages crumble, all because they couldn’t resist the allure of the babysitter. Hello? Remember what happened to Jake and his ex when he got too close to their kids’ caregiver?

As a mom, I find it pretty infuriating when I hear about these situations. Cheating is one thing, but doing it with someone you trust to care for your kids? That’s just crossing a line. Finding a good partner is tough, but finding reliable help is even tougher. If you’re going to make questionable choices, at least pick someone who’s not directly responsible for your children.

I used to think I was above the whole “don’t hire a pretty nanny” notion. I mean, my husband loves me, right? But then I hired a cute nanny, Chloe, who seemed to think my husband’s compliments were genuine invitations. It was a wake-up call! While my husband was flattered, he wasn’t interested, and Chloe was soon gone. It made me realize that it’s not just our spouses we have to worry about; it’s the impressionable young nannies who might misinterpret kindness.

So, how can you safeguard your home from the nanny-banging trend? Here are some tips to keep your husband’s attention firmly on you:

1. Ensure the nanny is responsible for the kids’ baths, not your husband’s.
2. Avoid suggesting anything like “threesome” or “three-way” around the nanny.
3. Ask her to shop for kids’ toys, not adult ones.
4. Invite her over when your husband thinks it’s funny to prank you after taco night. Trust me, he’ll seem less attractive.
5. Clarify that “sleepover” doesn’t mean sharing a bed.
6. Make it clear that “we’re going out tonight” doesn’t include her.
7. During the interview, focus on her hobbies, not her dating history.
8. Skip hiring anyone whose resume highlights their modeling days in a bikini.
9. If she finds your husband’s jokes funny, remind her they’re not that great the 73rd time around.
10. Reinforce that her job comes with a uniform – and yes, that includes a bra!
11. If she wants to leave early for a tanning session, offer her more hours instead.
12. Avoid hiring nannies from schools known for their “attractiveness” like Arizona State.
13. Choose a partner who respects you and your relationship.
14. Avoid marrying someone who could turn out to be a jerk.
15. Lastly, don’t take your nanny along on a family vacation meant to salvage your marriage – that’s a recipe for disaster!
