[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An 11 yr old does not need a nanny.  [/quote]

Out of curiosity, since you consider yourself the arbiter of when a child needs a nanny or not, at what age is a nanny no longer needed?[/quote

She may need a governess but not a nanny.  There is a definite difference.  More importantly, it is a parent's duty to teach independence to their children.  This idea of coddling your child until she 21 is ludicrous and is the reason there are so many dysfunctional young adults.[/quote]

A governess doesn't do childcare, a nanny does childcare.  If a preteen needs to be driven, needs some homework help (but not tutoring or homeschooling) and/or other nanny duties, she needs a nanny, not a governess.

I do agree that many nannies who work with older kids are actually housekeepers or governesses, depending on the situation.  However, that does not mean that all preteens are too mature for a nanny or that all of them are going to be dysfunctional adults.[/quote]
