[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but what parent would hire an "unskilled" person to have full solo responsibility for your baby, while you're away?
That's insane.[/quote]

Being a childcare provider is not a skilled job. Being a bartender is not a skilled job, but some are excellent at it and some are horrible.

There is not "skill" in a job that does not require a degree or some level of unique aptitude. Someone with a 6th grade education can be an excellent nanny and someone with a PHD could make a horrible nanny. It's a job of personality and temperament. All parents can hope is that they find that magic person with the perfect combo of the two.[/quote]
A good nanny needs a lot more than personality and temperament. There's actually a huge amount of required skills, even if the US Government disagrees.

In Europe, child care is much more valued than here. I think that is a key component why they have better maternity leave. If you believe almost anyone can do as good of a job as the parents, what do you expect?

How many years of nannies have you had? And how many nannies?
