La Mom is now accepting applications for the position of NANNY!
Please send your resumé to lamom.paris@gmail.com if interested.
===============================================================
Imagine my perfect day:
1/ French Fries home with the French speaking nanny ALL DAY
2/ Morning spent shopping
3/ Lunch with L'Amie
4/ Afternoon @ Starbucks with L'Amie (I know...so American when there are so many wonderful cafés in this city!)
Then...
My fab day gets cut short as I start feeling sick at Starbucks. Could it have been the grande crême brulée latte and the deux pain au chocolats I wolfed down? Quite possibly.
In any case, I boogied home (2 hours early I might add) and let myself into the apartment. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear? A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer? Not exactly...
My nanny was dressed in my clothes! Specifically, my favorite Zadig & Voltaire Elvis sweater, Seven skinny jeans, and Repetto ballerinas. Oh la la! was an understatement!
As she profusely apologized and scurried to the bathroom to take off my clothes, I ran back to my bathroom to make sure she hadn't swiped my jewelry. I realized my shower towel was soaking wet and my bathtub was full of fresh suds.
Are you as grossed out as I was? Eh oui, my nanny took a shower and used my towel to dry off with! I don't mind her showering while the French Fries are sleeping, but I certainly draw the line at her using my towel.
What is nastier? Stepping in Paris dog poop on an almost daily basis or having your nanny use your bath towel? Help me decide because I'm stuck on this one!
Something obviously got lost in translation. What I said when I left was "help yourself in the kitchen", NOT "help yourself in my closet".

In Miami - we would say "OH HELL TO THE NAW"
No she didn't! That's horrrrrrible!
WTF? I would have been pissed...that's firing material right there! No one and I mean no one uses my towel...yuck!
Hey Bow Chica -
What's "NAW" mean?
So did you have to say the words "You're fired" or did she just automatically know?
I have never heard of anything like that. I do have to say, sounds like she had good taste. I love Repetto shoes.
That's why my nanny is OLD and FAT - I highly recommend it!
Naw is no just the slang type pronunciation.
Maybe she thought you said "Help yourself to my life" ;)
What did you do? Is she still employed?
like saying "hell no" lol
Good grief, why didn't she just take your bed pillow and rub it all over her naked body...same thing in my book.
So sorry, I'm sure you'll be shopping for a new nanny asap.
Are you serious? Is that woman nuts? Some people have serious nerves... and the whole towel thing creeps me out.
I'd say it is definitely time for a new nanny!! I can't even imagine how embarrassed she must have been. Good luck on your nanny search!
Oh my. I have no words.
Just stopping by your blog to wish you a very Merry Christmas.
