Any of your nannies put their own kid in daycare?[/quote]
They were all past fifty. Not sure where they put their kids. It never came up.[/quote]

Case and point. You ladies don't give a damn about your nannies as people or fellow working mothers. Why do we do this to each other? There's no good reason that is not self serving or greed driven (i have the money so i deserve it, no matter the cost to you!)for not allowing a nanny to bring her child with her. Her job is literally to do all day exactly what her kid does at daycare. You don't see home daycare providers sending their children to outside even cheaper daycares. It just doesn't make sense and if look beyond your own selfish desires for 2 seconds. [/quote]
You make it sound like hiring a nanny is a charitable effort. It isn't.  It's a job.  The nanny is selling her skills and the employer is purchasing it, to mutual satisfaction. Of course it's self-interested on the part of both - what's wrong with being selfish? The nanny wouldn't work for free, now would she? I completely understand how the nanny would want to bring her child along with her, but if you look at this from the employer's standpoint, there is no benefit whatsoever - none - to the employer to choose a nanny with a child vs. a nanny without one.  The benefit is all for the nanny.    Helping someone is all good and well, but you know my employer didn't hire me to help me, they hired me to fill a need that they had. That's the nature of the employer/employee relationship.  Why do you insist that nannying is not a job?  You're not a neighborhood kid who babysits for extra money.  You're a professional who sells their skills, and your employer is purchasing them.  There is nothing else to that context, regardless of your desire to infuse it with kumbaya-ness and a delusion of working mother solidarity.[/quote]
