[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you’re incapable of caring for your children on weekends after you have a baby?  Are you a danger to your older children at bath time due to your exhaustion?

Surgeons and doctors, school bus drivers, preschool and daycare teachers, shouldn’t go back to work after maternity leave because they’ll be too exhausted?

What is fair for nannies is to be treated like any other profession and for women to be treated the same as men.  Your basic premise is wrong and your question (fake concern) is insulting to women.

True. But none of those people bring their baby to work with them the way a nanny would. Surgeons aren’t trying to operate while holding an infant in one arm. Teachers aren’t walking around with their babies as they teach class.

That’s the difference.

[b]A nanny can’t pay someone else to watch her baby because then her salary would be a wash and there would be no point to working.[/b] [/quote]

This says more about you and what you pay a nanny. You probably pay low and that’s why you think nannies can’t afford childcare.

As a nanny, I currently make around $60k (fluctuates higher when you add bonuses and I can make more when I do a nanny share). My husband makes more than me as a Fed. We could absolutely afford childcare if we had a child. However, I would quit working and stay home, not bc we couldn’t afford childcare but bc I love the infant stage. I would want to experience the first year of my child’s life full time. [/quote]

So, since you believe nannies should make $60,000/year, that's what you'd pay YOUR nanny too, right?    Anything else would be "low."    So you'd earn your $60,000, and turn around and pay the exact same to YOUR nanny?   After all the taxes you'd end up losing money.  [/quote]

Couple of things...I said, “I make $60k.” Never said what I believe nannies should make. So take your faux argument elsewhere.

Secondly, I wouldn’t hire a nanny. You see how easy that is? At $60k I cannot afford to hire a nanny, nor do I think I’m entitled to a nanny. That’s the difference between me and you. You want to pay your nanny low bc you don’t want to admit you cannot afford a nanny. Especially since you think you are entitled to a nanny. If you paid your nanny decently, then you would realize they could afford childcare. [/quote]

Ummmm nannies aren’t slaves. [b]It’s 100% voluntary for them and they can quit at any moment.[/b] It’s up to them to decide whether to accept or decline a job. This has nothing to do with the employer’s sense of “entitlement”. Your reply is very strange. [/quote]

You really need to step outside of your bubble.
