“Manny” – the term used for a male nanny – is gaining acceptance with parents and caregivers in search of the right fit in their home. Breaking out of the social and traditional norms allows families to find the perfect person to provide care for their children. Background checks, interviews and other best practices should still be part of the hiring process. Male candidates offer several benefits, including serving as a protector and energetic play-pal at the same time and offering different perspectives of problem-solving and playing sports.
