[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The saddest part about this thread is that some of the SAHMs who are so intent on making WOHM feel bad about themselves have daughters of their own, and will teach these daughters that they cannot both have a fulfilling career and be a good mom. Such a false choice. And when some of these daughters do try to maintain careers they've worked their entire lives for and also have children, these women will do their best make them feel awful about it. [/quote]
Sorry, but you are wrong. I'm the nanny and most of the children I care for, are neglected by their parents. Just sharing my observations here.[/quote]

Btw, of the handful of nannies I've known, all but one were complete idiots who I would never leave my children with. I would not, however, purport to generalize my limited anecdotes to all nannies, because that would make me an idiot. [/quote]

But somehow your nanny is just wonderful, a veritable Mary Poppins, right?  I'm always amazed at parents who actually believe their nannies adore their children.  It's simply a job to them, and one they don't get paid nearly enough to do.  Same goes for daycare workers.[/quote]

Well, I'm the nanny poster on this thread, and I have been described by a reporter as "a modern day Mary Poppins." I have adored 99% of the children who have been entrusted in my care over the years. My work is not only a job, but also my passion and my calling. But you're right, that most so-called nannies, really aren't interested in the optimal development of your child.

I agree I'm not compensated nearly enough in accordance with my accomplishments, even though I may be one of the most pricey nannies in town. Many of my charges have already become very successful adults. One former employer recently introduced me to her friends, saying her daughter is who she is today, because of me. The daughter is a well-known physician. Of course, the compliment was way over the top.

I'm also the poster who knows the critical importance of a primary caregiver who is competent, loving, and stable, especially during the first three foundation years of life. That person can either be a family member, or someone else who is dedicated to her work.

I'm the above poster. 13:38 thinks I'm a disgruntled nanny.
 Anyone else?[/quote]

I think there are multiple nannies in this thread- there was one further up complaining about all the shitty parents she has worked for  and criticizing moms for outsourcing child rearing to nannies. Just didn't seem that into the profession.  It does get very confusing when everyone has the same username![/quote]
