[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team,

Here is what I don't understand.  Minimum wage is 12.00 an hour, and most employees performing retail in the DC area pay that much. A Nanny came make 15.00 an hour, and enjoy the fact that a lot of her time will be spent monitoring a child, in the comfort of her seat. [/quote]

You have no idea what a nanny is or does!  A nanny will sit on the floor with your child, crawl around, chase them around to play tickle monster.  They will cuddle in the corner of the closet to read stories, be standing or crouching the whole time your child is doing the craft at the kid’s table (both to get things and because the table only has one chair).  They will lie on the floor next to the child to color.

Me?  I pick kids up over my head to teach them full body control, then I carefully lower them down my back.  I have them jump repeatedly, holding onto my hands and pressing down with their arms.  We do airplane while I lay on my back, with hands together and my feet cradling their hips, and we twist around carefully.  We do a modified bear crawl in the air, hands together and feet together with me on my back and a kid laughing down at me.  We do bear crawls, crab walks, side shuffle and other things around the house, together.  I bench press kids, to teach them full body control.  Please, tell me how I can keep highly energetic kids moving without getting down with them?  That doesn’t even start on the things we do that are “sporty” or on the playground.[/quote]
