[quote=Anonymous]As a nanny (who's parents are also disappointed in my choice) I don't think spending some time as a nanny is a terrible thing, but I wouldn't encourage her to make a career out of it. I've been nannying since I was 19 (now 24) and honestly I'm bored and burnt out. There is no advancement, nithing to really shoot for, and it can be tedious after a time. I'm finishing up school now and cannot wait to be finished nannying. All of that being said, I'm glad that I did it.

I've used nannying to pay for school and live on my own, which has taught me a lot about money management and made me more independent than many of my peers. I have real work and business experience, and I've learned to negotiate and advocate for myself as a professional in a way many of my peers have not had to. There is also something humbling about essentially being a servant that I think has been character building. I have a lot more respect for those in thankless serving positions. There is a lot of growing that your daughter can do working a job like this, and it would be great as a gap year, but not a career. [/quote]
