This is a true high end nanny's qualifications. These are the women who are paid 100k a year and have excellent benefits. Sadly most nannies don't meet all these requirements and still try to market themselves as such. being able to potty train, having experience or a BA is not enough to be considered "high end", you need a specialized skill and to be bilingual.

So a high end nanny will turn up her nose at feeding and walking the dogs or doing laundry but she'll muck stables and groom your horse? Learn something new everyday.[/quote]

You asked what are a high end nanny's requirements, not what their job responsiblies are. 1. I don't think cleaning is a specialized skill that takes training or years of practice to become competent at. 2. Families who can afford to pay a nanny such a high salary normally have full time housekeepers and personal dog trainers. 3. Being able to groom and Saddle a horse is important to learning how to ride one.

I should probably add that having a smartass attitude isn't a trait most families seek...[/quote]
