[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we make $12 an hour, and our break is "nap time." In your post, you mentioned your daughter doesn't nap. It's not a real break for us if the children aren't sleeping. There's no time to think. It's a very stressful job. Her comment seemed okay. Remember, not everyone has good manners. It's not always intentional. [/quote]

+1 These people are barely educated and barely clear minimum wage. Why do you think they would be good resources? [/quote]

Ugh, how can you say that? I have an AA. Preschool teacher here. I went to college, and I still make crap money. Would you say the same thing about a nurse with a 2-year degree? [/quote]

Please go finish your BA, PP.  That’s what I would tell a two year RN as well.  I’m sure you’re great at your job but you don’t have the education to advance.  With your experience and a college degree, you could be earning over $30 an hour as a nanny plus benefits.  [/quote]

I don't want to be a school teacher or a nanny, PP. I enjoy my work. I don't make $12 per hour, but that is the average pay for a LEAD teacher. I understand why some are resentful. My husband makes six figures, so I am okay with low income. I was offering another perspective. Finishing my BA to be a nanny seems silly. I would have debt, and the hours are longer. I could also find a nanny position without a BA. Nanny families are also crazy. I like the structure of the classroom. I don't have to deal with crazy parenting styles, creepy dads, pets, employers thinking I stole their organic honey etc. Most long-term nannies don't have young children. They're usually in theirs 20s, or the kids are out of the house. If you want high-quality childcare, then you should treat us with respect. Telling someone they're barely educated when they have a two-year degree is mean. I have met plenty of people with college degrees who don't know how to use commas. A 4-year degree doesn't always mean the person is "educated." [/quote]
