[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read the responses, but I am a 25 y/o nanny and I agree that education is important. I always knew I wanted to nanny or work with kids in some capacity. I got my BA in child psychology and have been nannying full time for five years. I work 50 hours a week, make 50k, will have all my loans paid off (65k) by this summer, and have great benefits. I get three weeks paid vacation, 9 holidays, 5 sick days, and a contribution to my health insurance. However, nannies with similar jobs and experience, but no degree are making around 35k without contribution to insurance. Parents will pay for highly qualified and educated nannies, but in my experience the degree makes a world of difference. Nannying is a great gateway to other child related careers- doulas, newborn care specialist, sleep consultants, pediatric nutrition specialist, house manager, nanny agency owner, home daycare owner, etc.[/quote]
