But I never had a male 81 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: babysitter growing up, so why not. 82 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I was surprised by his reaction, 83 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: I mean to say the least, because like, I don't know, 84 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 3: I just thought he was fairly open minded or you know, progressive, 85 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 3: And I was just kind of shocked because he made 86 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: me look a bad mom for even considering letting.

I mean, 89 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: I don't know that a man has ever applied. I 90 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: don't know of a situation where there's a dude who 91 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 2: wanted to babysit any of my friend's kids, or or 92 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: when I was young. I mean, it was always a women, 93 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: and I think typically you think about women having nurturing 94 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: tendencies and motherly tendencies and that kind of thing that that, 95 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: but maybe that's a stereotype. I mean, why can't I 96 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: I guess why couldn't a guy? And I'm not trying 97 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: to be woke here, I mean I'm really asking a question, like, 98 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: for the first time in my life, why couldn't a 99 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 2: guy accomplish that if he's if he passes the same 100 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 2: sort of background check and you know, ethic sort of 101 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: vibe check of a woman, why why? 102 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: I guess why couldn't he? 103 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm just kind of, 104 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: like I said, I just kind of want someone else's 105 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 3: opinion because I'm just questionable.

Maybe the industry slow right now 152 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 5: because I'm like, oh, you know, everyone's young and they 153 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 5: want to, you know, do this job, which I love. 154 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 4: But I'm like, why are there not men applying? 155 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 5: And I kind of question that myself, but maybe because 156 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 5: of society and the way that like we're set up, 157 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 5: it's typically not a job that men go for. 158 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: Typically. I know friends had episode on this too where 159 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: they hired a nanny, remember that, Yeah, And they were. 160 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 5: Like a big fight about it and he was a 161 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 5: great I think candative for the job or something, and 162 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 5: it was Freddie Prince junior. 163 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 4: Yes, the money, the manny, that's funny. If I'm not 164 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 4: mad at it, would it be my first preference? Maybe not? 165 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 5: And I think just because I'm like set up that way, 166 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 5: you know, because society, or maybe because like I'm conditioned 167 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 5: to think that a man wouldn't want this job or 168 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 5: to be honest, even. 169 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 4: Be good at this job. And that's that's not true. 170 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 6: I will say, it's not always one hundred percent, So 171 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 6: don't come for me. But sometimes though, you do see 172 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 6: little girls like it's just a neat and them like 173 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 6: they want to play with babies, they want to care 174 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 6: for things. I've noticed that, So maybe it's just that 175 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 6: they're more drawn to it. But I don't I see 176 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 6: why a man couldn't do a good job as well. 177 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: I have a friend in law enforcement who texted and 178 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: it's just just I won't say who because I have 179 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 2: several because I don't want to win going for him. 180 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: But this is apparently statistics, Okay, eighty eight percent to 181 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 2: over ninety three percent of sex predators are male. Why 182 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: take the chance? Okay again, that's this is this is 183 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 2: one person's statement. I haven't verified that I believed and 184 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: trust this person. Yeah, but you know, someone else texted, 185 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 2: no man period should be babysitting young children. Too many predators. 186 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: Maybe if the guy was a friend of the family. Well, 187 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: if those statistics are right, then I get it. But 188 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: you know, and I'm not picking on teachers, but there 189 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: are a lot of female teachers, and every day I 190 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: feel like we're seeing some story. And again, this is 191 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: not this is not on female teachers at all. But 192 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: to say that that no man should be watching a 193 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: child because only women should be, that's that's sort of 194 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: a pretty wide net to cast, because you do hear 195 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: about female teachers taking advantage of your Again, not a 196 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: lot of them, not a dominant amount. But again, I 197 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 2: don't think you could say with certainty that if a 198 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: woman watches my kid that we are one hundred percent 199 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: better off than if a guy would. Now, maybe statistically 200 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: you're you're you're a lot better off, but not entirely, 201 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You can't, we can't make 202 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: a blakeant statement about that. He's Shelley, Hi, Hi, Shelley, 203 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: good morning. What do you think would you let a 204 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: guy who is qualified and background checked in the same 205 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: all the same qualities you would look for in a woman, 206 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 2: watch your. 207 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 7: Kid, absolutely. I mean he's a college students study. He's 208 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 7: probably looking at something where he could study. You know, 209 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 7: guys are qualified to watch kids. They teach, coaching, their 210 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 7: school counselors. There are counselors and kids who go out 211 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 7: to camp. Guys. Some guys just have that the tree 212 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 7: state about them. 213 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 3: I don't see. 214 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 7: Anything wrong with it. 215 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, thank you Shelly. 216 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 8: Here, Well, thank you, have. 217 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: A great day.

I mean, 223 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 9: there's a lot of decent men out there, but I 224 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 9: just statistically the numbers are hired. 225 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 4: If I don't know. 226 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 9: This guy, I wouldn't hut him. I wouldn't put my 227 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 9: son in charge of any man. I don't let the sleepovers. 228 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 9: I don't. It's it's just it's scary out there. I 229 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 9: agree with the dad. I mean, again, he might be 230 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 9: a decent man. There's a lot of them, but why 231 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 9: take the chance if the numbers are not in your favor? 232 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. Thank you, Emma, have a good day, 233 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: you too, glad you called? Uh, I am Aaron. You 234 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 2: are a male nanny. Yay, Yes that's correct. 235 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: You is what you do? Okay? 236 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: And do you get First of all, I'm curious, like 237 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 2: what was your motivation in getting into this? And second 238 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: of all, do you do you feel like you're unfly judged? 239 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? 240 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 10: So I've actually been doing it for like the last 241 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 10: fifteen years. I've kind of always been in childcare my 242 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 10: whole life. I started babysitting when I was like twelve. 243 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 10: But yeah, I would say, like number one, I definitely 244 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 10: am not paid what I'm worth. Like, you know, the 245 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 10: base rate for most nannies is like around twenty five 246 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 10: dollars an hour, and I don't get that mostly because 247 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 10: I am a man, and yeah, like it takes a 248 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 10: little longer for me to get jobs and stuff. And 249 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 10: I do think, yeah, that it's like a societal thing. 250 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 10: But I've been doing it for like fifteen years, and 251 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 10: there's some families that will like seek me out, especially 252 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 10: if they have boys. But what's funny is most of 253 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 10: the families I've worked for actually has been little girls. 254 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: Interesting. Yeah, honestly, like I say, this truly. 255 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: When I read this this morning, it's sort of wait 256 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: a minute, like, right, well, why not exactly? And why 257 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: would I always gravitate towards hiring a woman if I 258 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 2: had a kid, Because I just would because I'm programmed, 259 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: I guess because that's what I always had, that was 260 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: my exposures. 261 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: So I guess that's what I would do. 262 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 2: But and I also don't know how many men there 263 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: are in your industry, you know, Aaron, I guess I 264 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: think you're still probably pretty rare. But I guess you 265 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 2: could also argue that's because it's harder to get a 266 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 2: job because people have this sort of idea in their 267 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: mind that guys shouldn't do it. 268 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. 269 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 10: And you know, I do want to say that, like 270 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 10: the statistics that everyone's bringing up, those are reported cases. 271 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 10: So most of the cases reported are men. That doesn't 272 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 10: mean women are not, also sell. 273 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: Your editors, Yeah, fair enough, thank you Mann. 274 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 10: Also, because you know, because of the stigma, men don't 275 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 10: report when something does happen, yep, because they're shamed and 276 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 10: they're made to feel awful about it. But it's happening, 277 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 10: it's definitely happening. So those statistics don't tell the whole number, 278 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 10: the whole. 279 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: Story, you know. Aaron, thank you, have a good day. 280 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: Thank you. 281 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: I think fair enough? Is I keep saying fair enough? 282 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: It's like because I mean, these are all interesting points. Yeah, 283 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: hey Kelly, right, Hi, So you grew up with both 284 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: male and female babysitters and no issue. 285 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. 286 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 11: My mom hired some family friends and we had a 287 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 11: blast with the male babysitters. They were a lot more, 288 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 11: you know, like willing to let kids be kids and 289 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 11: run around with us and get on the floor with 290 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 11: us and run around outside with us. I think that 291 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 11: the biggest thing is you have to trust the people, 292 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 11: and you have to do your research. And if it's 293 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 11: somebody that you don't actually know in person, you just 294 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 11: have to do the background checks and check. 295 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 4: The references and all that. 296 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 11: There's risks either way if you're inviting somebody who you 297 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 11: don't know into your home. 298 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, makes sense. Thank you, Kelly, thank you. Yeah. 299 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: I mean, well I had I had female babyabysitters when 300 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 2: I was young, and they were men hanging around. They 301 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: were their boyfriends that would come over from my parents left. 302 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: And they weren't interested. They weren't predators to me. They 303 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: were waiting for me to go to bed so they 304 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: could make out with the babysitter on the couch. 305 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: That's what that was about. Nicole. Hello, Hi, hey, good morning. 306 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: You will not hire a mail nanny because of statistics. 307 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: Correct, Yes, and so I. 308 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: Have even if your background checked the person. No, no, no, 309 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: I interrupted you. But even if you even if you really, 310 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: like really dug deep and looked into this person and 311 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 2: they had references and a clean record and an interest 312 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: in childcare or in this case getting a master's maybe 313 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: an education or. 314 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: Something like that. 315 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 4: Correct, I know, I still will not take that chance. 316 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: Okay, I Nicol, thank you, thank you? Fair enough? 317 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 2: Someone said, ask Pauline she would allow a guy to 318 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: take care of a daughter. 319 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: Well I did, yeah, right off. 320 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 5: The top, I asked the mom in the Yeah, hey, 321 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 5: welcome to the show. 322 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: It's just good, you know. He came here everywhere to 323 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: comes out of our mouth. 324 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, the guncles are watching her now. 325 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: Jamie, you had a male babysitter growing up. 326 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, his name was Bob. 327 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: Babysitter. 328 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 9: Yeah. 329 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: Man, but he. 330 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 8: Baby sat me and my brother and my three sisters 331 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 8: till I was twelve, and there was nothing wrong with it. 332 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 8: I never actually had girl. Babysitter was always a male. 333 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 4: And Bob was cool above born. 334 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, he was the only Bob I knew. His name 335 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 8: wasn't Robert, his name was Bob. 336 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: That's a very interesting fact about Bob the babysitter, because 337 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: you're right, you don't meet a lot of Bob's. 338 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: You meet a lot of Roberts, go by Bob.

What was no? 343 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 12: My so, my grandma uh knew him years ago, and 344 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 12: by the way that I can remember, my parents just 345 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 12: started letting him baby sit us. And then my when 346 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 12: I lived at my grandma's for a little bit, he 347 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 12: was our babysitter and we would go to his house. 348 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: Actually, okay, so you had like a real life mister Rogers. 349 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: You know, you go over there and you'd put us 350 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: you change sweaters, you know, and you put different shoes on, 351 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: and you'd go out to the back and play in 352 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: the sandbox.
