Remember a few years back, a female top exec in Palo Alto advertised for a "super nanny, house manager, life manager" person that sounded very much like a super educated SAHM of a rich man? I could fill that role in a jiffy...if I ever had the need for money.

But, I am probably not generous and I want to hoard my talents, love, creativity and care for only my children and grandkids. My job has been to make life easy for my own family. I don't want to be involved in solving other people's family need because I do not feel an emotional attachment to them.

Another thing is that you cannot be a "mom" figure to another family because you do not have any power or say in the care. As a SAHM, I took care of my kids from
a place of motherly love and utter devotion. Providing childcare to other people kids is basically just meeting basic physical needs of the children for a low hourly rate.


I found the article about the woman CEO who went viral for her laundry list of qualification for a childcare provider ...

That's fine, she's going to need to pay a lot more than 30-40 an hour because after taxes, SS, healthcare, it's not that much for what she's looking for.

+1. Not the worst thing though because there are often two people in a room with the kids and she can learn on the job. There's also tasks that require little training that she can do to add value while she's getting up to speed.

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.


… parenting as a legal obligation… okay


It is though..? You’re not doing the world a service because you brought something into it Lmao. Parents are clowns sometimes.


Well, i guess if the world is split into legal obligation and service, then you are right.

This. I think a lot of responses were assuming OP was asking about hiring as a nanny, because most people don’t run daycares. I personally wouldn’t hire someone without experience as a nanny to be a nanny.

I don’t think she could get a DCUM $35/hour nanny position, but she could certainly get hired by YMCA or similar to work in childcare programming for $18/hour. She might need to get certified but in the current applicant environment they would probably pay for the certification. All this assuming she has a clean criminal background check, is willing to work the hours, etc.

But I never sent my kids to daycare. I hired a nanny. WITH PAID CHILDCARE experience.
