I am white, and I was a nanny for a family consisting of a white mother and a black father for two and a half years. I was able to put myself through college and save a good amount of money through nannying. It was an enjoyable job, and I never felt exploited; in fact, I still visit the family every few weeks.
Instead of having racial preferences, nannies ought to make judgements on a per family basis. I'm sure there are families of all races that I would not want to work for.
