By LAURA BOSTROM

One Boston resident asked nanny Lisa Shanley whether her McPheron, Kan., home had an outhouse.
Shanley, a live-in nanny for a family in Marblehead, Mass, denied having any outhouses, but said she often answered such uninformed questions about her home state.
"One person asked me if we had McDonald's." she said.

Representatives from Child Placement Service and Helping Hands of Wilton, Conn., recruit most of their nannies from the Midwest.
Many families come to her agency because of a shortage of local help and more women working outside the home, Fisch said.
