And in the United States, how many law school graduates do you know that cannot speak English fluently? Because there are plenty of nannies that do not speak English fluently (if at all) who are still hired.

It's apples and oranges.

You CLEARLY missed the point of the post, brainiac. Point is lawyers make that much money yet complain about how expensive nannies are. If you can afford it and your children are your top priority, you'll pay for the best.

It's like any kind of education. There's basic, on the low end, and elite, on the high end. The middle range is where most people are, both the nannies and the parents.

There are relatively few "elite" nannies available, and just as few, very wealthy parents who can afford them. The elite nannies rarely come on the market, and when they do, they often have their choice of attractive offers. After all, their appreciative employers have been talking them up, for years.
Thank you, 13:50. You do get it, exactly right. It seems that the poster who is missing the point, is do so on purpose. She is trying to veer off topic, in a failed attempt to deflect our attention to the issue at hand.

If your caregiver hasn't finished highschool, she's not a nanny. Sorry.

20:36, would love to hear how you'd define a nanny....

Her version of a nanny, sounds more like a warm body, who may, or may not, have any basic child care skills.
