[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should providing reliable and quality childcare be low-paid, is the question. Answer: it shouldn't. If children are our future and someone is spending 30-60+ hours per week helping to mold your child's behavior, language, physical and emotional development, discipline, understanding of the world, if this is someone who nurtures their innate curiosity and teaches them empathy, perseverance, and manners...is that really a low-skill job in your mind? If so, why do so many parents fail at it so miserably? (No, I don't mean MBs, I mean parents who simply don't know how to do those things because raising children is complicated and tricky.)

Do you need someone to watch your children? If so, stop denigrating nannies and telling them to choose another profession. If not, get yourself off the nanny forum and go enjoy your kids.[/quote]

A copy of the above post goes on my refrigerator.

I want to be reminded everyday how important child care is, even if some MBs here don't seem to think so. I feel so sorry for their children. I hope they have someone in their lives who loves them.[/quote]

You nannies are really overestimating how important your job is.[/quote]
And you're UNDERESTIMATING how important your parenting job is, IMO.[/quote]
