Funny story - when we were first looking for a nanny, my wife and one of her friends were reticent to hire a young nanny for this reason. I pointed out that an older person might, yanno, try to impose a lot more of their views on childcare, and be less energetic, so we hired a young lady (who has been fantastic and with us for three+ years now). Her friend hired an older, granny-type woman who...refused to take direction and was frequently too tired to do more than put on the TV.

In retrospect, the differing decisions might have had a lot to do with how much they trusted their respective husbands.
