[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Professionals have a license to practice their trade: teacher doctor, enegineer, lawyer, nurses, message therapist, estheticians. beautician.  Nannies. However, have  no certificate to ply their trade.  No institution of higher learning confers a degree in Nannying. Anyone can be a nannyand zero training is required.[/quote]
That's exactly what stupid people think, that anyone can be a nanny. Then they're shocked when things go terribly wrong. Too bad for them and their child. So unfortunate. [/quote]

How many of you really believe anyone can be a nanny, as opposed to a babysitter?[/quote]

Of course I believe there is a difference between a nanny and a babysitter (and I have employed both for my kids).  Our nanny is educated and experienced -- she is a partner in raising and teaching our children.  She has a college degree in education and years of experience.  When we were new to the parenting thing, her experience was of enormous value to us as was her advice.  Our babysitters are girls who watch my kids in the evenings so we can go out.  (Nanny isn't interested in sitting around while the kids sleep and suggested we find babysitters).  [/quote]
Bless you. You are one wise parent.[/quote]
