[quote=Anonymous]Completely agree with 9:09. An ECE background is useful for preschool where class management and designing or executing a curriculum for 10+ preschoolers at different levels of development is necessary. For a nanny position, this is barely to not at all relevant. A loving, patient, engaged nanny who loves to talk with (not at) kids, play with them, read with them, and be outside is the best situation. You want someone who maintains a developmentally appropriate environment and makes the kid's feel loved and valued.

Kids will develop skills if given the environment, materials, and engagement that appropriate for kids which comes from basic things. An ECE nanny can not "teach" a child beyond their developmental abilities anymore than buying Baby Einstein videos will give your child scientific reasoning skills beyond their developmental abilities.

Preschool or daycare teachers don't make very much money. Their jobs are much harder than nannies. They don't have 2-3 hour breaks while this children nap. They can't run their own errands during the day. They can't just decide to take the kids on an outing or spend half the day at a park on a nice day. Unless they work for a school with very low standards, they can't be on their phone constantly. The ECE nannies know that being a nanny is much easier and more lucrative than working for a preschool or daycare. Not only are you paying a premium for skills you don't need, but you are paying someone who is after an easier work environment. [/quote]
