[quote=Anonymous]I would say having a smart nanny is very important to me.
Who would want an idiot caring for their children?

I define smart beyond IQ scores, SAT scores, and degrees.

I have had had candidates share their scores and degree information with me.

I do not give much weight to those things. I rank things like experience, references, interaction with my children, and ability to meet their developmental needs above scores and degrees

Now if the  woman I interview with meets all my other standards and happens to have a high IQ as well as an advanced degree that's a great bonus.

I will clarify that it will only impress me if that advanced degree is in education or child development.
I would immediately pass on someone if she told me her degree was in the maths or hard sciences.

I  would pass on her even if she was great with my kids.

I would not want my daughters or my son being influenced by someone like that.
I don't want them thinking a woman can be talented in maths and sciences ,but she can only succeed and be happy caring for kids.[/quote]
