[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all: thank you so much for all of this input! It is quite hard to get an entire concept out in a brief discussion topic on a forum with people dissecting it, but it's good to see how this concept is percieved. I'll try to put it another way without creating the animosity.

I have worked in a corporate job and in that setting, advancing your career and always learning is a plus. For some reason, in this industry we equate getting better with becoming too expensive. I'd like to change that. I'd like to change the level of service nannies provide for the betterment of the children. IMO we need to break down the walls between good employers and nannies and create productive relationships.

I'm realizing that the title of this post was all wrong. If your nannies aren't coming up with lesson plans for activities in the summer, goal lists, and supplemental material for books/movies/activities/etc - I believe they should. The families I have met can't pin point a price on their child's happiness and advancement. Once they see the level of service I provide and will pass on, they always ask "where can I find one of you?", and that is where Avant Nanny comes in. This business is for families who want a nanny that gives something that is not the norm. This is about providing a new standard of service, so it is not a slap in the face to a nanny to bring Avant in, it is instead a chance to advance their career in order to better provide for the family they work for.

I don't think this business is for everyone. For the families I have met, those that care to provide not just safety but enrichment along with their childcare - this service is unparalleled. [/quote]

Word of advice: if you are advertising a business on an anonymous forum, then focus on the business and leave out the personal pronouns. We are trying to get an understanding of the business model. We don't need to know how you feel in particular, nor about your exact situation and experience. It seems more constructive for you to explain how the services you intend to provide benefit families and the nannies that they hire. Focus on that and it will be a bit more clear. If you are stating your opinions and experience to become more credible to the reader, then do so in a public interface where it is simply another tab to click on ("About the owner") to confirm the credibility of the business. Defend the business proposal, not yourself. All we need to know for now is that you are/were a nanny and that you understand the corporate world as well. [/quote]
