[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies aren't always for the wealthy. For some if us the day care wait lists are insane and we settle for a nanny. I say settle because of the attitude many have in our supply and demand market. I think many here would prefer a good day care[/quote]

Would you be willing to expend on your use of "settling"? I understand needing to use a nanny because daycare wait lists are so long, but isn't having someone come to your home every morning, handle the child's meals, dishes, laundry, and toys a good thing? Someone who can get kids together with the neighbors or meet DCs friends at the park when it's sunny vs being stuck inside or in a small yard because no one is hauling 12 daycare kids to the playground at 3pm? Having a nanny is not for everyone, for several reasons, but I'm having a hard time seeing how it is "settling."[/quote]
She settles for a sitter, because she can't afford a nanny. It's that simple.[/quote]
You again? Don't you get tired of making this lame comment on every possible thread?
The truth is, anyone can be a nanny. This is a completely unregulated industry that requires no formal training, certification, or registration. Nanny and sitter mean exactly the same thing at this point. You just seem to have some odd need to bolster your own ego and think you are superior to someone who has a realistic picture of what this job really entails and deigns to take a job for less than $30/hr.
