[quote=Anonymous] I cook a homemade dinner for my family every single night from scratch. That doesn't mean I think I would be a good professional chef.    Just because you love your kids and are a great parent evenings and weekends doesn't mean that you would be good at building a schedule and routine, potty training, nap training, early childhood education, and all of the other things that go on with young kids during the day. If you are a stay-at-home mom who doesn't do any of those things,  then yes, providing basic supervision is probably not all that hard, although there is still the aspect that it can be socially isolating, but I guess if you were one of those who just makes her kid nap in the car so that mommy can have her wine/play date with other stay at home moms then it's not going to matter very much.

The reality is that some moms and dads have very high standards for what they want happening during the day during the 0 to 3 years. They also understand that not everyone, including not every parent automatically has a solid grasp of early childhood education principles, or appropriate developmental milestones, or how to manage things like sleep, naps, introducing solids, and a myriad of other  goals that they might have for their kids during that time frame. If you were a parent who does not have those skills, but you want your child to have access to someone who does, and exclamation do that is to hire someone who knows a lot about early childhood education to educate your child during those formative early years.
