[quote=Anonymous]Sadly all the points are made.

1. Nannies here make people believe that their pay should be 'livable' which means it is above minimum wage.  However, many [b]daycare employees[/b], that perform almost identical jobs [b]make minimum wage[/b] and do the same amount and type of work.  That nannies on this board somehow feel they deserve more because the clientele they are catering to can afford it.

2.  The nanny profession is not accredited, does not have any type of board certification or any real legal governance requirement.  The reason is simple, the work they are performing is what typical mothers or babysitters would perform.  The only difference I could find is that a Nanny may have a prior routine she performs for a child, WHILE a babysitter seeks guidance from a parent regarding routines.  Routines include activities, songs to sing (i am a little tea-pot), and other methods of entertainment.  Let me be honest and blunt, even a BARBER gets an accredited certificate and LICENSE to cut hair!

[b]Did you know a DAYCARE has more requirements than a NANNY (there are none <--).  Want to know why? The reason is simple, the state considers their care in the same field as a BABYSITTER!!! [/b]

3.  Want to know what scares a nanny the most!  The fear of their job being outsourced to an illegal.  BTW. Not all illegals are uneducated. Many of them come from poor countries but have more college experience than many of the nannies here, who may have gone to community college, or received some pay-for-profit nonaccredited certificate.
