Only in New York: Financier's Wife Has A Horrifying Request For The Nanny



The nanny biz in New York City can be a lucrative one; some nannies for the city's super rich are earning upwards of $180,000 a year.  But the high pay doesn't always justify the occasional humiliation that can occur on the job. One tale about what it’s like to work for the city’s wealthiest as a nanny was particularly bad. Writes The NY Post's Jane Ridley:

"You know how we've been trying for a baby, and we've been having some issues?" she asked the nanny, a 25-year-old English rose with a trim figure, blue eyes and a bachelor's degree. "We wondered if you would mind donating your eggs."

... Elizabeth politely declined the offer of a $30,000 cash bonus on top of her $100,000 annual salary if she went ahead with the egg-donor deal.

... "It's freaky to think they wanted me to continue working for them and raise what would have been my own child….."
