[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want strangers raising my children. [/quote]

They're probably better at it than you.[/quote]

Why would a random daycare worker be better at taking care of kids than their own parent?[/quote]

Yes, every parent is a fit to parent by virtue of being a parent. Anyone who is paid to provide childcare could never be as fit. 🙄[/quote]

Yeah I think parents are more fit to be a parent than some low paid daycare worker who focuses 9-5. A parent is more invested and more loving to the child than any paid employee. That’s reality. [/quote]

I've heard so many people say about their hired caregivers "She really cares about our child."
No doofus, she cares about a paycheck.[/quote]

I mean he or she might very much care about the child.  Does the parent care more?  Most likely yes. [/quote]

It is unusual for an employer to say, "Larla really cares about our widgets" or "Larla (elder aid) really cares about grandpa."
This is said by employers of nannies to convince themselves that -
A) The employee is not really being exploited as the employee is emotionally invested
B) To assuage the employer's guilt for outsourcing care[/quote]
