[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go check out the nanny forum here sometime.  That is a decent representation of most nannies.  I assure you the nannies most of the people you know have are not the modern day equivalent of Jane Eyre, Mary Poppins, or Maria from Sound of Music.  They are just ordinary women trying to pay their bills. Maybe they have a bachelors degree. [/quote]

I think people mean the one-on-one care and attention given by a nanny as opposed to group care.

SAHMs aren’t Mary Poppins either.  [/quote]

No one claimed they are.  But OP is saying she is jealous of all the people with amazing highly educated nannies.  From what I see, that is not most nannies.  In fact, I don’t know anyone that had a nanny that fits that description.  If you get a nanny that isn’t on her phone all the time when you are away, that is pretty much the best most can hope for.

I do know an educated and cultured nanny like that and she’s the envy of our entire preschool class.  Her little boy uses words like taciturn and cantilevered!! The 19 month old is speaking in full sentences.  The preschool boy told me he wants to paint like Jackson Pollack.  Crazy smart kids with an amazing nanny.  [/quote]

+1. There’s a second-career nanny like that in our neighborhood too.  Stately, educated, adores her charge and completely engaged.  Her charge’s vocabulary is unbelievable.  [/quote]
