[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to break it to folks but you don't need to be a rocket scientist to be a nanny, in fact it might be a detriment. As another poster said, teaching patience, kindness, manners, etc. I find to be MUCH more important than getting johnny to memorize his multiplication tables by 3. Formal "education" is highly overrated imo. So what if a person has a college degree in history and they're a nanny. As mentioned in another thread, the early years is primarily drudgery and little in the way of education. By 3 if you're that concerned send them to school part time. If a "highly educated" person wants to stay at home to watch their kid, props to you, that's your choice. But you're going to have a hard time convincing me that it makes a dramatic difference over a non-educated elderly lady, especially in the younger years. This is coming from someone that primarily "just" spends nights and weekends with my kids. :D[/quote] Yup. I prefer my nanny be a kind, loving person who cares for my kid and wants to teach her to be a good person. [/quote]
