[quote=Anonymous]There's intelligence and then there's just your overall approach the job. If you're a professional, then you try to stay current with your field - when you learn that a particular method has changed, you take note and make it your new default option until told otherwise by your employer. That's the perspective of a professional. If you see yourself as the grandmotherly type just looking after kids as a hobby, then you default to "this is what worked for my kids" and "this is how I've been doing it for 10-20 years and it's been good enough" when presented with updates to the methodology of your field and you resist, resent, or refuse to adapt. I think I could handle a nanny who's not incredibly bright, but very loving, for young kids if she saw herself as a professional. I really can't work with the hobby approach to childcare though, regardless of how intelligent the person might be. [/quote]
