[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 4 children and have had 2 nannies and a temporary nanny share and I don't know anyone who pays $20 hr. $12-15 for one child is far more common and $15-18 for 2 kids.  The only people I know who pay $20 is in a nanny share and each family pays $10.

Babies just need love and someone to care for them and feed them and change them.  No college degree or bi-lingual experience is necessary.[/quote]
Ever wonder why the recent explosion of special needs children? Hint: a child's environment matters. A lot. Regardless of who's providing the environment, it should always be the best possible environment.

NOT saying EVERY special needs child is the result of a poor early environment. After all, the genes of two parents must be taken into consideration, as well as the nine months in utero. It all matters.[/quote]

Yikes, apparently you don't know very much about special needs children. There is no recent explosion of special needs children. There have been changes in diagnostic criteria. Ten minutes reviewing the literature will educate you on this known fact in the field. A child's environment matters in addressing any child's needs, yes, but does not create special needs (the need for therapeutic interventions, IEPs or 504s). Yes, there are genetic conditions that result in special needs, but these are the minority because there are no known genetic causes for the most common of special needs (ADHD, ASD, and the like.)

Also, there is no academic study in the last 50 years that concludes that bilingualism results in speech delays, not does bilingual education cure speech delays. Bilingual education is valuable to young children in many ways, but not in the arena of speech delays.[/quote]
