Matching Quote
"Often, we expect too much [from a nanny]. We want someone like ourselves—bright, witty, responsible, loving, imaginative, patient,
well-mannered
, and cheerful. Also, we want her to be smart, but not so smart that she's going to get bored in two months and leave us to go to medical school."
-Louise Lague
