[quote=Anonymous]The PP is exactly right. By law (FLSA), even the best, most experienced, college-educated nannies are not true ("learned") professionals. If they were, they could be paid a salary instead of an hourly wage and they would be exempt from overtime. Some people use the term "professional" nanny to refer to a "career" nanny, meaning someone with several years of experience. Of course, strictly speaking, anyone who gets paid to work in a particular field is a professional in that field. I think nannies and nanny-employers alike would benefit from a legal system that recognized nannying as an early childhood education specialty with a formal education requirement and a licensure requirement. However, and sadly, Congress just doesn't see nannying as skilled labor. [/quote]
