[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between $25 and $30 for a legal, English fluent (speaking and reading) educated nanny with experience.

We just went through it.  [/quote]

The "educated" is what's getting you here, I would guess. Frankly, I don't understand why you need more than a high school degree to be a nanny, and if you want that, your pool of potentially nannies is going to be much, much smaller, even more so if you're looking for someone with a relevant degree (like early childhood education or something). I'm much more interested in experience, personally.[/quote]

Probably bc educated people make educated decisions. You had a poster claiming her nanny was showing the baby electrical sockets. No educated nanny is that dumb. It’s amazing that in a place like DC people would dismiss education. [/quote]

I'm the PP. I definitely knew not to show babies electrical sockets in middle school. And certainly in college, no one taught me that babies shouldn't be shown electrical sockets. So again, I'll take experience over education for a nanny. Intelligence, problem solving, common sense - these are important. But whether or not you have a BA doesn't tell me if you have them.[/quote]

You can have both!  Our nanny has both experience and a college degree.

NP here and it was important to us.  We expect her teachers to have at least a college degree so why would we expect less in the first five years?  [/quote]
