How would you feel about a nanny wearing a bikini?

Just that really. Would you find it inappropriate for a nanny to take the children swimming wearing a bikini rather than a swimming costume?

I can't imagine caring in the slightest. Why would you?

No. I don't think I would notice.

bruxeur · 23/03/2013 23:20

Jealous much?

MirandaWest · 23/03/2013 23:25

Are you the nanny?

Thought you meant round the house. No, nanny swimming in an item of clothing designed for swimming, fine. Are you the nanny?

I had a nanny who used to wear a teeny weeny bikini when she took my boys swimming. DH and I thought it was quite funny (because a bikini isn't really part of my look so having a teeny bikini hanging up to dry in our house was a bit new). A number of friends who'd been swimming with their children at the same time, made a point of telling me that they'd seen the nanny with my boys and how lovely she was with them. No-one commented on the bikini Smile

If you are the nanny, am I (the theoretical parent) with you or not?
If not, then no not really, wear what you want.
If I am with you I may be a bit put out by your youthful figure in a bikini against all my fabby bits being held in by my hold-you-in cossie.

MajaBiene · 23/03/2013 23:32

How would you even know?

So long as it is appropriate for a swimming pool and not so skimpy it gets them kicked out then I wouldn't care.

SPBInDisguise · 23/03/2013 23:33

Love the idea of fabby bits

LadyWidmerpool · 23/03/2013 23:36

If the nanny was male I would be a bit surprised, otherwise I couldn't summon much interest.

expatinscotland · 23/03/2013 23:39

I can't say I would care. A bikini is a swimming costume, is it not?

OutragedFromLeeds · 23/03/2013 23:40

Grin this is my favourite thread title in this section in a really long time.

I don't think it matters as long as it reasonably covering.

I'm a nanny and there is one other nanny that we all hate going swimming with because she's got an amazing body and looks great in a bikini, while we're all in swim suits that practically go neck to ankle. It makes us jealous, but it doesn't effect how great she is at her job! Blush Grin

VisualiseAHorse · 23/03/2013 23:43

Sexy nannies are the best kind, no?

DoubleLifeIsALifeHalved · 23/03/2013 23:47

Please say you aren't serious!

Let me shock you... My sons nanny wears a bikini, and looks great in it too :)

ChristineDaae · 23/03/2013 23:57

I don't own a swimming costume, bikinis only! Wouldn't occur to me to be bothered by someone wearing one. Surely it's the nannies personal choice what swimwear to have??

confusedalways · 23/03/2013 23:58

I'm the nanny. Didn't want to be to specific to start with. Grin

I happened to mention in passing to friends that I wore a bikini and they seemed slightly shocked, so wanted to see other peoples opinions.

I wouldn't have a problem with it. When we go on holiday we take our nanny with us and she wears a bikini too. She has a great figure, I am not jealous as I am a size smaller than her BUT after my daughter pulled her top down in front of everybody she prefers to wear swimming suits now. Smile

Startail · 24/03/2013 00:35

Since the only Nanny as aboard to CM I've ever knowingly met was about 19. I wouldn't be surprised if a bikini was the only swim wear she owned.

I don't know, we used to keep each other company at soft play rather than the pool.

Startail · 24/03/2013 00:36

As opposed

BabyFaker · 24/03/2013 00:50

It would really piss me off because I am massive and fat and DP would probably want to go swimming too and lust after your hot bod

ZuleikaD · 24/03/2013 06:13

I wore a bikini when swmming with the children - once - when I was nannying and got so many unpleasant vibes from the mother and so many inappropriate ones from the father and his brother that I didn't wear it again. Happily only a temp job!

mathanxiety · 24/03/2013 06:16

If I wore a bikini it would be shocking [fabby bits don't you know] but I am sure it was lovely on you.

Gigondas · 24/03/2013 06:39

Wouldn't bother me .I would me interested/amused to see how coped as my bikinis weren't exactly kid swim friendly as prone to ride up/undo so picking up kids, having them pull at it could mean you end up showing more than you thoughtGrin.
