[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue with all these threads is the misuse of the work "nanny."

There is the *professional* nanny -- with an education and an expectation of making a true living raising other people's children.  With that comes benefits as other professional jobs offer. If overtime is not paid, then a large bonus at year-end should be. Minimal if any child-only chores.  Certainly no "light  housekeeping." This is what what most folks want but cannot afford.

Then there is the housekeeper/babysitter -- usually a person without much education  --  probably an "older" immigrant woman who likes to clean and has raised several of her own children. She does not have an education in child development. This is what *most* people can afford.

Recognize which one you want and know which one you can really afford.

There is a great mix of possibilities between the two points you outlined.

We sought and hired an immigrant nanny born and raised in our home country because we intentionally keep our children away from English during the first three years, with only limited exposure between 3 and 5. [/quote]
