[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s comical about this thread are the ppl making so many excuses to justify their $15/hr pay. You’re arguing to prove that by paying $15/hr you are getting the best care and no one can possibly spend more on childcare. Do you fight this hard when families are willing to pay more for daycare or ask daycare centers why they charge more than the one you settled on. Either you are willing to pay for a certain nanny or you aren’t. Some families care more about a nanny simplying being able to change a diaper. [/quote]

I'd say what's comical contorting themselves into believing they are getting something better because it is more expensive due to added bells and whistles that are unnecessary for the job.

Since greater education is clearly imperative to a nannies qualifications, why are you being so cheap and limiting it to an undergrad degree?  There are tons of JDs in town and if you really wanted the best for young Thaddeus, you should be willing to pay the hundreds of dollars per hour to get top flight credentials.[/quote]

Spoken just like someone who hasn’t experienced the best of probably anything. [/quote]

Actually the problem is the exact opposite.  Because I went to some of the best universities in the country, I was not exposed to offerings such as The Fluid Dynamics of Bottle Feeding, Post-Modern Feminist Analysis of Brown Bear, Brown Bear and other works of Eric Carle, and The Role of Peek-a-boo in Cold War US Foreign Policy.

If I had realized these and similar offerings were an important part of the college education on many campuses, I would recognize the value that a college degree would bring to a nanny.  I will not let me children get suckered into the purported benefits of the Ivy League.[/quote]

I wonder why many people look for a similarly educated spouse to couple up with? I wonder why then some of those highly educated mothers and sometimes fathers take some time off to spend easing their young children? Why is that? It sounds like this is not something that you know as you are not one of these people. [/quote]
