Your family is simply ignorant of the changing market. Educate them or ignore them.

Professionals, e.g. doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, nurses, teachers all have to pass a state exam in order to practice their professions. You can get a ph. d in early childhood development but if you are a nanny, it is not a profession. Frankly. I have to wonder why anyone with college degrees would ever work as a nanny. The US Dept. of Labor does not comsider nannying a profession. Professionals are paid a salary and are not hourly emoloyees.

I am an MB who would not hire a nanny without a college degree. How can you think so little of your own children to not consider the woman (or man) who cares, teaches and protects them ten hours a day is not professional?!

Those you disparage nannies disparage their own children.

How can you care so little for your children that you hire someone to witness all the precious first steps, words. Why bother to have them? If money is more important then don't have your accessory children. No matter how hard you try, nannying is not a profession.

Neither is being a bitch, but you've made a career out of it.

19:34, yes, I have a triple Ph. D. In bitchiness but I'm still not a professional bitch because I have no certificate that is given for professional bitches. Just like a nanny has no professional standing.

You can never top 19:34. It wasn't even a nice try.
