[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Career nanny here. The only dynamic that I am comfortable working in is a team setting with the parents. I have more knowledge and experience than they do. They have certain ideas and goals they want to see regarding their children. We work together to make sure the children are thriving. The respect shown is mutual. This is not an office environment and shouldn’t be viewed as such. If you need to feel powerful and boss someone around, hire a child without experience, work your way up in your career and be a demanding (and sectretly disrespected boss), become a police officer (some really go crazy with the power they have), etc. You shouldn’t want to feel more powerful and authorative with your nanny, that is an issue that you should seriously look into.

Career nanny. While you think you are MORE of an expert than the parents, I am sure the parents disagree.  They after all are responsible for their child, and know their child more (as it is theirs).[/quote]

A.  A child is NEVER an it.  Any pronoun denoting a person’s gender is appropriate, a pronouncing naming a child an object is NOT.
B. OP has a nanny for a child with special needs.  Experience counts.
C. Many of us have more than a decade (maybe more than two or three) working with kids.  Many ftp have never babysat or even held a child.  Experience counts.
D. Many of us spend more time with our charges than their parents do.  We get the kids up, we put them to bed.  Factor in weekend care, any some parents spend less than 10 hours with their kids weekly.  I don’t say it to be mean or judgemental, just point out that we may know the kids NOW more than their parents do.  They’ll know them better in the long run, which is what will matter then.[/quote]
