[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did and then I changed my mind. It's exhausting if you're doing it right. You will probably burn out after a few years. You most likely want children some day, right? Don't burn out before you have your own. [/quote] So you quit in preparation for having your own kids? Why are you a nanny then? How much appreciation do you think mothers get? You don't want to get sick of low appreciation jobs before you have your own kids.[/quote] I am still a nanny and getting appreciation has nothing to do with why I don't want to be a forever nanny. Most nanny jobs do not offer benefits and the parents are difficult to work with. It's more like a hobby job. Your dh needs to be making a higher salary or you live with roommates etc. I know some nannies are able to earn a higher income in dc but it's not the norm. They probably don't bring their children to work and work long hours. What will op do when she has children? Send them to daycare? The main reason I can't recommend this job is because you will eventually burn out. There's a reason you don't meet a lot of forever nannies or daycare workers. [/quote]
