Surely you jest? You let the dog pick the nanny? Yeah, right.

Nannies that are respected, paid well and thought of as a person and not an object in the home. A nanny that is hired for her education and experience and is treated as a team parent.

A nanny is not a parent, nor should she be considered in parenting decisions.

I disagree.

For some families, the nanny does make a lot of the parenting decisions. I worked for two high level executives and made tons of decisions for the children and their education, well-being that in most cases would be made by a parent. Including where they attended school, when to switch pediatricians, how to discipline etc...

Love it!
