In an effort to make Stapleton moms less self conscious and nannies less “creeped out,” the Stapleton MCA has agreed to turn one of its pools (YTD) into a “nanny-only” pool. The pool has received extremely mixed feedback, albeit consistent within groups. For example, Stapleton moms and nannies are very excited about the new pool. “I think it’s great,” says Stapleton mom Delicia Speaker. “There are so many nannies, that it makes sense to have a pool just for them. It is not about us moms. We just really care about the nannies.” Nannies are on the side of the moms. “I am excited,” says Heidi Andreasen. “It will be nice to go to the pool without getting stared at by all those really creepy old guys. I mean, the other day, this dad that was like 36 said hi to me. Ewwww!”
Dads have been strongly against the pool, but finally made the concession after the MCA agreed to install a nanny-cam that can be downloaded as an app. “Mostly, I want to make sure that the nannies are doing a good job with the kids,” says Jeff Meyerholz. “Whether it is my kids or not, I care about the kids in this community.” Dad’s will be able to “keep track” of the nannies through the nanny-cam app available for Droid and iPhones.
The MCA believes the new pool will be a success. “There are enough nannies here that it simply makes sense to have it,” says MCA president Liza Kampstra. “With the agreement of the nanny-cam, and the fact that we will be able to sell advertising on the app, this is win-win for everyone.” It has not been decided yet which pool will become the nanny-pool, but it seems that any of the pools will suffice in the eyes of the community.
