What does it mean to be a professional nanny?

Exactly which skills do you think a professional nanny can't teach a child?

Nannies actually are the first teachers your child will ever have.

Most parents here don't need or want a professional nanny, not can they afford one.

Me again.

I'll always remember the CEO mother who interviewed a dozen 'top' nannies.
Then one day she offered to tell me why she wanted me:
I was "the only one" who told her what I would do with her child
when he was born.

Every other so-called nanny said she'd do
"whatever" the mother wanted.

Parents need to learn who is, and who isn't, a nanny.

I agree with this.
