[quote=Anonymous]A little late, nonetheless, I find some of these comments fascinating, but not in a hahahahahaha manner. However, one person made a comment which I can relate to. 
I did childcare work for most of my life while residing in the USA. No I am not from there however I lived there longer than I had my place of birth.

When I applied for my nanny's position I was given a list of things that would be my duties. And I was told the children were my only concerns. 
Nonetheless, when the children were napping and I was though with all I had to do on the list I would find other things to do around the house and my bosses' 
were very appreciative. Because they wouldn't have to do them when they returned tired from work. And in addition it give them more time to spend with their children.

I never looked at it as they were taking advantage of me, they didn't asked me I volunteered. I can't see where doing a kind thing for someone who treated you well is a problem?
I was blessed to have met some wonderful employers. What is wrong with helping someone who treat you well? 
It isn't taking anything off you, if anything to are exercising and keeping fit at the same time.
 
I don't understand what anyone's education level has to do with someone helping out their bosses who have be very good to her? 
Maybe I am from a different planet? I think we all, employers and employees alike needs a heart transplant. 
Because, some of us are confuse, selfish, ignorant, heartless and uncaring human being.

And yes, I don't have a Master, however I have friends who have and they were nannies as well. 
Sometime, people just love children and they become nannies. It isn't that they can't do better caring for little ones is their passion. 
I love children and I raised many from toddlers to college age. 
And if I had to do it all again I would have, providing I find employers like those I were blessed to have met.
