She does know more about raising kids than you do. That's should be why you hired her.
It's incredibly rude of her to tell you this, however.

I'm a nanny and don't pretend to know more about raising someone else's kids than them. Stupid statement. stupid nanny making the rest of us look like morons.

This is why I don't like to hire women in my under 50 employees company. You do not do your job and spend all your time on the phone obsessing about your brats.

Not only is this illegal (see the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act), but it's disgusting. Especially since I'm sure the majority of posters chiming in that they don't hire women because they could get pregnant have benefited in the workplace from these very protections.

You made yourself look like a moron. I do know more about raising children than most parents. I've been doing it for 15 years.

No nanny knows more about how to handle THIS CHILD from THIS PARENT more than the parent. Period. If you don't agree with how the parent wants to raise their child then you shouldn't accept the job. Nannies care for and teach someone's else's child - we do not raise them.

Nobody said that a nanny is raising the child, especially outside of the parameter of his parent's wishes. Though to say that a nanny with 4x more experience than you doesnt know as much as you do about child-rearing is beyond ridiculous.

NP here and the PP did, in fact, just say that she knew more about raising children than most parents.

Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Because I asked about discipline and you told me that you once pricked a child on the tongue with a needle because he sticks his tongue out too much

While this may be disgusting it is not illegal.

Almost all of the laws on discrimination and employment do NOT apply to Household Employers. The reason is the laws define an employer by the number of employees they have. If you don't meet the definition on an employer according to the law, the law doesn't apply to you. Since most household employers only employ 1 or 2 people, the laws don't apply to them.

I wish more nannies would do their research and know their rights before always shouting out "that's illegal" when these types of discussions come up.

And I promise you all these women who are saying this is disgusting and illegal would also never hire someone they thought might soon get pregnant and pay the nanny maternity leave! lol

I'm the PP - not a nanny, but a mom who is looking to hire a nanny in the coming months. You're sadly correct - I looked up DC's Human Rights Act of 1977 and it excludes household employers (but actually not any other employer who employs even just 1 employee, making it unique in the nation).

That doesn't negate the point that women are able to go to return to work because of the protections enumerated above, and yet women on this board admit they discriminate against women based solely on their age. Whatever happened to standing up for women in the workplace??

The Amish use that as a discipline technique sometimes.
