[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently you missed the healthy part in the healthy newborn.  [/quote]

No nanny can guarantee a child will remain healthy.  Most infant nannies are hired prior to birth or shortly after; colic, reflux and sleep issues may not be apparent.  And nannies don't set "healthy child" and "unhealthy child" rates.[/quote]

Most people I know hire infant nannies shortly before maternity leave runs out. Haven't heard of anyone hiring a nanny before the child is born - why would you commit to employing someone before live birth?

Nothing you said contradicts my statement that taking care of a healthy newborn is very easy. [/quote]
Again, your experience is extremely limited. I was not only hired before the baby's birth, but was hired to *start* one week before the baby's birth. The parents wanted me to have lots of time to get settled in their home, and set things up in the nursery.

And, if taking care of a baby was so easy, there wouldn't be so many problems out there with good infant care. Also, parents typically pay a premium for newborn care. Seems like you have a lot of learning ahead of you.[/quote]
