[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sorry, but this just doesn't make any sense to me. it's normal for women who married rich to continue working, but not as nannies. nannies are household servants. it blows mind that somebody rich would do it. she could work with children/spend time with them or whatever it is that makes work pleasurable in 10 different, more appealing ways.[/quote]

I thought nannies could make as much as or more than teachers in some cases? Maybe she likes being a nanny and wants the security of her own income (a reason for continuing to work that plenty of women cite.) Why is that so crazy?[/quote]

because you are a servant. it's not just about working with children - it's about taking orders of people who, in this case, are supposedly 10 layers of status below you. so, in the evening you go to some white tie event with the president and the next morning you are driving traffic the suburbs from your $5 million georgetown house because some 100K making family's dog went missing so they need you to show up early. it's just too much for me to believe - i think some important info here is missing. to top it all - the OP's english also sounds very bad, like from someone with a HS diploma. nothing wrong with that, but just adds to the implausibility of it all.[/quote]

Well, this certainly tells us a lot about how YOU treat YOUR nanny.

As an in-demand nanny who can afford to be picky abour who I work for, I can say that I have NEVER been treated like a servant.  Bizarrely, I actually enjoy being helpful, so I love working in a field where I know that I am making a big impact on the quality of life my MB and DB live, not just providing child care.  This week I went to an aquarium and to the beach and hiked along a river and went swimming in it.  I also did grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking, all of which I really enjoy.  So there are in fact people who do this job because it is our passion, and families who treasure having a nanny who doesn't view her job as a last resort.[/quote]
