[quote=Anonymous]This is kind of a spin off of the "my nanny is always sick" thread, but I didn't want to continue derailing that thread. We see on here so often these conflicting ideas that a nanny's job is both extremely important, so important that we must submit to background and credit checks, personal lines of questioning, and discriminatory hiring practices, yet at the same time we are told that we are unskilled laborers, hardly deserving of the low wages offered to us. We are continuously warned that fighting for increased employment protections and higher wages will kill our industry and put us all out of work.

Which is it? Is the care of your children not of the utmost importance? Are you not extremely careful and discerning about the person you hire to do the job? Or do you truly believe a nanny to be unskilled and therefore anyone could do the job? Let's not trot out the "barriers to entry" argument because we all know that for the real nanny jobs for parents that give a crap there are basic requirements that must be met to be considered.
