With a SAHM there is no one to say how she handles kids other than herself.



There's no way to verify a nanny is good, either. They know how to act. You have no idea how often they use their phone when they are out.

Depends on her educational pedigree, number of kids she’s had and the quality of them.

Child care is not a job anymore than feeding yourself makes you a chef.

Y’all want to be praised for taking care of your legal obligations so damn bad.


If I was hiring someone to cook for my family I would not hire a chef unless I was very rich. I would hire someone who has a lot of experience cooking for a family.

Your comparison is invalid and your assessment of "y'all"s intentions is ignorant.

OP says a "childcare related position" but is not more specific than that.


Do tell. What profession does being a stay at home mom qualify your for… other than being a stay at home mom…

Do some of you think that every employee at a daycare center has previous experience as a nanny/teacher? Every childcare worker starts somewhere-no one is born with previous job experience.

Depends on the position and also how she interviews. For a nanny, for instance, sure, I'd seriously consider hiring someone who'd been a SAHM as long as she seemed like a good fit for our family.

NP. I suspect it's the SAHM that started the thread.

Would you hire for a childcare related position a candidate without specific experience (job experience as nanny, teacher etc) except being a SAHM for a long time?
