[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If someone has these abilities, they wouldn't exactly be taking a job like this that requires, what?, about an 8th grade education.
It is an interesting phenomenon. Apparently a job that is so easy any eighth grader could do it becomes stressful and difficult once a law degree and a PhD is thrown into the mix. Fascinating.[/quote]

Something can be stressful and not require a lot of smarts.  What parenting requires is a lot of patience.  That has no relationship to education level.  [/quote]

Also, you can't equate a nanny's job to a parent's role.  Whether a nanny does more or less for a child in terms of hours or duties, the parent/child relationship is always going to be more difficult and stressful because it is infused with so many other life dynamics that play into one another and the sheer fact that no one can get to you like family does.  This is why so many recommendations written on behalf of nannies include "she has been like a member of our family" instead of "she is a member of our family."
