[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never had a nanny and came here to start learning. The "not my job" attitudes and obsession with money really have turned me off.  I don't want someone in my village who is constantly critical, resentful, or thinking about how to squeeze me for cash. Daycare has been great for my child, but I was looking at a nanny in order to make life easier at home. After reading this forum, it seems like my home life would have a lot of drama and judgement.

Actually, in many ways, this forum has made me have more empathy for nannies than I previously had so I guess we find what we are seeking.

Yes, being a nanny is a paid profession.  Yes, nannies generally have a great deal of experience with children and will have their own thoughts.  Yes, a nanny is a human being who can be critical or not.  Everywhere you go, OP, you get judged - even agreement is a judgement.  A nanny is a breathing, thinking human who (hopefully) will love your child and have a relationship with him/her and that is more complicated than a daycare worker's relationship with and feelings for your child.

There is no shame in admitting that you are more suited to daycare.  [/quote]
