[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I began my nanny career at fifty-eight after an entirely different career.  I have an MA in Liberal Arts but nothing in Early Childhood Development.  I started with a few part-time positions and got some great references.  I also took the full day Infant Care and CPR at the Red Cross.  Three years later and I am making 28 an hour and never do any household cleaning.  I do all the charges laundry, cooking and clean up but not general housework - ever.  [b]I am also a drama-free grown-up - I have never been late, never use my phone when my charges are awake and come to work every day with a smile on my face.[/b]  (It is shocking how so many young nannies can't seem to do any of that.

I also truly love being a nanny.  It had been the most rewarding job I've ever had.  All the best to you, OP.  I wish more older women would join the profession.  [/quote]

My current nanny (our fourth) is not an older person, but she has "grown-up" responsibilities (she's helping support her mother). I never understood how much time I was losing dealing with our nanny's crisis of the day in the past. This set of qualities is golden.[/quote]
