I meant to write this a few weeks ago when I was looking for a nanny, but it still shocks me, so it must be shared.
I was told by a friend here to ask the nanny's I interviewed what they would do if a baby was choking. She told me the reply she had gotten, and I figured it must have been a fluke. So I decided to test it out on 3 different nannies I spoke to.
I asked:
What do you do if a baby is choking?
I was told:
Nothing.
And no blink of the eye, or discomfort in the response. Just a simple, "nothing."
Oh, OK. You're hired. You seem like a good caretaker for my child.
I'm still kind of hoping this is a "Lost in Translation" moment. But, not sure why they all answer that way....Perhaps it is just the Georgian way - whatever will be will be.
