[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool teachers have jobs that come with union support, health insurance benefits, paid summers off, retirement benefits, and other very nice benefits (e.g., pension eligibility). Nannies sometimes do not have any of those. Also, many preschool teachers have preplanned lessons they can use.

Nannies often get some PTO, such as sick days and vacation, but nowhere near all the holidays and summers preschool teachers have. Additionally, most nanny jobs do not offer retirement and only minimal coverage for health insurance. There is not as much job security with being a nanny as there is with being a preschool teacher. Nannies typically are more flexible in their schedule to accommodate parents needs, which is not the case for preschool teachers (although I'm sure they also put in some extra time as well, but it is not always dictated by parents needs/preferences).

Which preschool teachers are part of the Union? Maybe PK3 and pk 4 public teachers in DCPS? But not your typical preschool. [/quote]
