[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm leaving nannying for graduate school specifically because I want the option of having kids one day. I love my job, I get paid very well and support myself comfortably, but I could never stay in a field where I'd either have to hire my own nanny (wut) or send my kids to daycare while caring for someone else's. I get what everyone is saying about it being a job, and it is, but if I taught at a private school my kids would get to attend for free. If I worked at a daycare, they'd get to enroll at a steep discount. [b]It is painful to think about women leaving their children in subpar care so they can provide the 1:1 attention kids thrive on to someone else's children.[/b][/quote]

This is my issue with it. I understand the need to work, but you have to be in some way selling your child short. In order for it to be worth it monetarily, you are being paid more than you are paying for care. You provide specialized individual care to someone's kid who has money, and to do so you send your kid to cheap daycare. I understand it may be necessary, but its a shitty situation. Your baby deserves you and the care you provide as much if not more than some rich woman's. [/quote]
