[quote=Anonymous]I’ve always had-gasp-$15/hour nannies. I don’t live in DC, though. My nannies have not been college educated or necessarily experienced as nannies (but they have been mothers who raised their own kids). I don’t expect them to shop or prepare meals or be a household manager. They do provide a stimulating environment, and organize the kids spaces and clean up after them. They put away the kids laundry (but I wash it). They design the kids schedule and also research ideas for art projects and activities. I’m just saying-there are wonderful nannies out there who are less expensive, but on paper they may not seem amazing. I guess I’m not sure why a college degree or grad degree is necessary for a nanny. I just wanted someone loving and reliable, and that has been easy to find at what I can afford. They’ve also taught my kids a 2nd language and that is amazing too.[/quote]
