[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The prevalence of this idea by many MBs on this board also leads to a lot of the frustration. There is an assumption that none of us are educated, qualified, or have any work experience outside of nannying. There is an assumption that we are all stupid poor and foreign, and in some people's eyes lower class and not worthy of the respect they show their peers. There is of course nannies who may fall into these stereotypes (not that they are unworthy of respect) but it is not all of us, as you can see from the many educated, professional, and experienced nannies represented on this board.[/quote]

As a nanny, you've never conducted a nanny search. You receive over 100 responses to one ad. You need to throw out 80 of them because the candidates are people who just aren't qualified for anything else! You do see a good number of teaching rejects who just can't find a job teaching so are looking to be a nanny until they find a teaching job or who were actually just daycare workers calling themselves teachers looking for more money and less supervision work. They can probably do the job fine but this isn't what they want or wanted to do which probably makes them bitter.

A good majority of the nanny posts on this board do not present nannies in a flattering light at all! It may be a few bad apples but most of the nanny posts here are bitter, angry, entitled, and uneducated. They give the impression that nannies are generally incompetent people with bad work ethics and a big chip on their shoulder. [/quote]PP, reread your first paragraph and then your second. If you don't see some irony in your own statements you probably should refrain from making any further comments.[/quote]
