My advice if you don't want to deal with these kinds of parents, become the type of nanny that truly wealthy people (who know how to hire and treat staff) want to hire; have a degree in a relevant field, extensive experience, glowing references, learn a second language, and refine your "product", and work with an elite agency.

Interesting perspective to consider.

The problem wiith this is that there simply aren't that many wealthy families who need nannies. THe job market is saturated. In all likelihood you will have to work for a middle class family if you want a job, period.

Is there a middle class in America anymore? Regardless, I am with an elite nanny agency in Los Angeles and they are always looking for qualified nannies. College degree mandatory.

The nanny snobbery is pretty hilarious. You’re the hired help, FFS. Get over yourself.

You are a jerk.

Truth hurts, don't it?
