[quote=Anonymous]Most nannies are underpaid and it’s a heavily exploited workforce— mostly immigrant women, often without education credentials or corporate/business skills that would enable them to get higher paying work. I think it’s funny to read people call it miserable work though. On a parenting website, no less. It’s rewarding and has some built in perks. It’s simply undervalued because men (almost none of whom have ever cared for children full time, even for short periods during parental leave) don’t do it, it involves caring skills, and it gets pushed off on older immigrant women who are devalued generally. It’s crazy to me that there are women working 40 hours a week caring for multiple kids and making less than 50k, but that’s common. It’s ridiculous.[/quote]
