[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So they are all on this weird level field, competing with other professionals, but also with people who just think child care would be fun and easy while they think about what else they want to do. This leaves wages dependent on a market that is widely inclusive and more nannies than jobs and no consistent way nannies can show they are high skilled career nannies who should command a high rate, market or otherwise.

I agree with this. Its also true that different families/positions need different skills.

I didn't want an ECE type nanny because my kids were in a great preschool. I didn't need a nanny bringing a curriculum. I wanted my kids to get a break and just be able to play and have fun when they got home. I also didn't have any need for someone who expected to be paid to do nothing while they were in preschool. I needed someone who was happy to do light housekeeping and errands. I hired someone with great experience who was amazing. If I had been working really long hours and didn't have the same preschool options then I might have chosen to find someone who did want to be more of a teacher than a nanny. [/quote]
"You Are Your Child's First Teacher" is an excellent book for parents or anyone caring for young children. When you do your job right, you are teaching them.[/quote]
