[quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of cultural differences and social issues one could mention, but I'll say this: Part of it is probably that there is a bit of fear on both sides of the nanny becoming "too much" a part of the family. The bosses are afraid the nanny will be more beloved by the children and may "take over" the house (mostly the MB), so they want to limit what the nanny does. The nanny wants to avoid being taken advantage of so asks for a very explicit and specific contract, which lays out what she is to do and not do. I don't know that most nannies here have "relevant degrees." Many nannies are just experienced caregivers and then may take some relevant classes like CPR or maybe get a certification in child development, but it's pretty low-key in terms of study requirements. They aren't usually getting a bachelor's or master's in child development unless they plan to do something else in the future.[/quote]
