[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is nothing new OP. they whine and complain about how hard it is to spend time with their kids, then come over and call our job easy to justify paying as little as possible. Quite the bitter bitchy bunch. [/quote]

The reality is that being with little kids is easier for some than others. 
I do not like art projects. I do not like being messy or dirty. I do not like playing pretend - I like games that have goals and I am competitive. I like to be productive. I like deep discussions. 
My nanny loves art projects and making "music". She does not mind muddy hands touching her pants or grass stains. She can play science lab, house, school, adventures, all the live-long day. She has the patience to play structured games that a preschooler can not follow the rules for.

So yes, it is MUCH easier for my nanny to be around my kids than it is for me. I love them, it's just that I'll be able to bond with them more when they're older. [/quote]

Yes, I agree some people are meant to work with babies and young children while others are not.  That, however does not mean that the person who does excel at working with children and is actually employed by you doesn't deserve credit, appreciation and the occasional "thank you" from her employer.
