[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a nanny who was constantly late. Drove me crazy. Talked to her about it several times. She said she'd do better, but she didn't. Finally, I let her go. Paid her a week's severance. She was pissed off at us, but it was insanely disruptive. I don't know why she couldn't show up on time. She was great with the baby, but her unreliability was too much to take. Why take a job if you can't show up on time? We were fair employers, I thought. Found her through an agency. She had great references. It was upsetting, but had to be done. [/quote]

Same.  It is a job, not a luxury.  We pay you more than well, [b]you have no qualifications[/b], be grateful. [/quote]

We hired a nanny with a bachelor’s degree with early childhood coursework and five years of experience. [/quote]

Yea that’s not qualifying for anything. Also, they count babysitting for family as years of experience.[/quote]

Tell that to every employer that requires a college degree. [/quote]

They are idiots.  Who requires one?  I mean I definitely prefer college student babysitters but going to college to be a career nanny is just a bad investment.

I think nannies on this board are thinking of themselves as a very specific high end nanny - the celebrity nanny.  Sure those people are in fact probably idiots.

But the DMV T10 lawyers aren’t fooled by an ECE degree unless they have an uneducated spouse who handles life.[/quote]
