I have worked for free, thank you.

You make yourself sound like the ultimate materialist. Maybe you take pride in that label?

By no means do I expect you to know this, but stability IS actually a critical ingredient when raising young children. That's why many parents (and nannies!), will bend over backwards to work towards a longterm relationship.

Children pay a price for every major upheaval in their lives. Smart parents do their best to minimize unnecessary changeovers of primary caregivers.

A primary caregiver is a parent, and that ain't changing until the parent dies.  Everyone else comes and goes.

Few children live a life free of changes. [/quote]
The "primary caregiver" is the person who cares for the child for most of his or her waking hours, hence the word "primary". Lots of parents hardly see their children. The may pay the bills, but they certainly aren't doing the caring all day from their offices.[/quote]
Seriously? "Most of his/her waking hours?"

So you'd consider yourself a primary caregiver for a toddler until the day he starts preschool, and then, the day he starts coming home at noon, you are no longer that? What about an infant who has trouble sleeping at night, would you consider his mom a primary caregiver since he's awake a lot at night, but the second he starts sleeping through the night, you get the honors since now you have more of his awake time and she has more sleep?  You'd go crazy doing this math.

Don't be ridiculous.  The primary caregiver is always the parent. The responsibility, funding, decisions, stability rests with the parent.  Good daytime caregivers - nannies, friends, teachers - add to the mom/dad, but they don't replace parents.  And kids know that, too.  It in no way diminishes the work of good nannies.  It simply sets the record straight.[/quote]
I wish nannies weren't raising so many children. It's a sad thing, but I guess better than 10 or 12 hrs of daycare everyday.[/quote]
