[quote=Anonymous]The nannies on DCUM like to pretend they are professionals. They either misuse the term or misunderstand what a profession is. At the end of the day, throughout most of the world and yes even in the US, nannies are essentially unskilled labor. I think those with Master’s degrees like to pretend otherwise. You don’t see baristas or waiters with advanced degrees in quasi related fields proclaiming themselves to be rare, highly sought after professionals. What makes a wonderful nanny more often has to do most with their character, personality, and aptitude. Expecting a nanny to do dishes and laundry is not degrading or abusive. As a highly educated wealthy family we expect this of our nanny as does everyone in our wide social circle from DC, to NY, SF, and Boston. [/quote]
