Come back after you educate yourself a bit on the subject.

Well, in spite of her rude delivery, she's right. There is no certificate, diploma, or license requires to be a nanny. This definitely calls into question how professional nannies can claim to be.[/quote]

+1.  If nanny work were a profession, nannies would be exempt from overtime under the federal labor laws based on their presumed skills, knowledge, and specialized training.  They would also be bound by the terms of a professional license to act on their own independent judgment and uphold certain standards regardless of contrary pressure from their clients.  As it stands, nannies are not exempt from overtime rules specifically because the job is presumed by law not to involve the nanny's exercise of independent judgment that has been informed by specialized education.
