[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need to work.  The job doesn't sound great.  It's causing you a lot of stress....why don't you just wait until your kid is 4?[/quote]

Op. I am just so depressed not working. I was a nanny for 8 years before I became a SAHM. I tried to find a job where I could bring my child to work with me but I haven't had luck. Florida doesn't have a good market for nannies. I really want to work in another field. I[b] am burnt of from taking care of young children. It's so draining.[/b][/quote]

Is there any job that you can do outside of  the house that pays enough (or has enough growth) to make childcare worth it?  I mean, if you are depressed and burnt out from watching your child, seems like adding a job while still watching your child is a recipe for disaster.  Honestly, this schedule sounds awful with very little upside, not just for you, but for your husband and child also.  There's no downtime for anyone!  Find a job outside of the house and get childcare.[/quote]

Pp are you really this dense? Op was a nanny before becoming a SAHM. I don't think it's possible for her to find a job that's pays enough to pay for decent childcare. Lots of couples work alternating schedule's. [/quote]

Plenty of people find jobs that cover childcare.  It doesn't have to be DC-priced center care.  Do you think only white collar professionals have children?  If she's depressed at staying home, she's better off even if it only covers childcare, especially if there's benefits and/or potential to make more later.[/quote]

You think a former nanny is going to be ok with daycare? As a nanny myself I don't think so. We have seen everything. I think that's why most nannies become SAHM. [/quote]

Oh PLEASE. Nannies become SAHM because it's not worth it for them to work outside of the home financially and career-path wise.

I have friends who are prosecutors that handle abuse cases. They have truly "seen everything." Yet they continue to work even and are okay with high-quality daycares for their children.[/quote]

Nannies can't afford high quality daycare center dummy. That was the point pp was trying to make. [/quote]

Nanny here. Yes I agree with this. We have seen plenty of children ignored by their nannies and daycare workers yelling at the children while they are at a local playground. It's kind of a curse to be a nanny before becoming a mom. We can't afford the childcare we give to your children unless we get subsidized childcare. Most illegals can't do that.
