[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would someone with a college degree be a nanny?[/quote]

Because it’s a great job when you work for smart, loving parents.  I’ve done many other professions with my degree but none as satisfying as teaching and loving children.  I’ve never looked forward to Mondays until I became a nanny.

You must not be a parent, PP.  The first five years of a child’s life are nothing short of miraculous.  [/quote]

I totally agree with you.  I'm wondering, if you had your own child would you hire a great nanny to take care of them or would you plan for and find a way to be home with your own child until they started school full time?  I say this as a parent who did whatever was necessary to be able to be home with my kids before they started full time school because it was so important to me to be their primary influence at that time of their lives and to enjoy being with them full time myself.  It was difficult financially but totally worth it to me.  What are your thoughts on that?[/quote]

Wait. You’re against a college-educated individual being a nanny but presumably you have a degree but quit to stay home and ‘influence’ your kid…while not getting paid for it. Do you see how silly that is?[/quote]
