How to Speak Nanny
“Great article on the topic from the NY Times: "How to Speak Nanny" - http://nyti.ms/bSkmpY”Domestic service is new to the upper middle class. The group has only just become sufficiently wealthy to hire domestic things done.My parents never had the income to support "Help". I have not had it either. The culture that did ended with the great depression. The new group that can pay those costs are products of the GI bill or the children of those first generation professionals. We either need to import buttlers and house keepers or we need to train those who will manage a domestic staff. Service is an old set of skills that have been mostly lost as has service management.
