A post by Tatum Braunwalder, a certified nursing assistant in Arizona, about her search for a part-time nanny job on Facebook has gone viral on X. Gender, trust, and bias in the workplace are the topics people are discussing.
In her Facebook post, Braunwalder introduced herself as “a professional, caring nanny with 3 1/2 years of paid experience.” She also mentioned that she is a certified nursing assistant with CPR and First Aid certifications. Her focus is on safety and creating “a warm, engaging environment where children feel supported and can thrive.”
In her post, Braunwalder mentioned that she can take care of up to three or four kids ranging from babies to 11-year-olds. She also mentioned that she has attended some college and that she allows pets. Her focus is on creating “long-lasting relationships with families,” and she loves her job. Her location was also mentioned in the post as East Mesa/East Valley in Arizona. She also mentioned her minimum pay rate of $20 per hour and that she is available on Mondays or Wednesdays.
The post received significant traction when commentator Pearl Davis shared screenshots of the post on X and cautioned others: “You are playing with fire hiring this woman as your nanny.” The post by Pearl Davis indicated that Braunwalder’s looks would threaten the marriage of her potential employers.
The tweet was highly viral, garnering more than 4 million views and 500+ replies. The comments included jokes about infidelity and others criticizing the judgment of hiring someone based on their looks.
One such tweet read: “If a man can’t hire family help without wanting to have sex with the family help, maybe he shouldn’t have a family.”
Another one said: “Attacking someone’s livelihood just because they’re pretty is a low blow. Let the girl work in peace and maybe focus on why you feel so insecure about your own situation.”
Another one said: “Hiring a hot young nanny is like your wife going to a handsome, ripped personal trainer. Why put yourself in that situation in the first place? I know too many trainers who would hook up with married clients.”
