[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the above PP:

Mother have been screwing up children since time began as well.  Is this a characteristic you want in a caregiver who doesn't even have the biological imperative to keep the child alive as the natural mother does?  [/quote]
Are these the only two options available in the world? Someone who screws the kid up OR an ECD degree holder? There's nothing else in between? Setting up a false dilemma, are you?

I honestly see no reason in some MB's (or trolls) constant need to put down the women we employ to care for our children. [/quote]
That's because you see a putdown where none is intended.  It's not a putdown to say Job X does not require specialized education.  Not having a specialized degree is also not a barrier to being cherished and valued by an employer.

 I hired a woman who was a preschool teacher and has a masters degree in Early Childhood Development for my child.  Yes, her rate was more than the undocumented nannies who were a full $10 dollars an hour cheaper but I wanted more for my kid than just a body to protect his body when I was at work. [/quote]
And with all these accoutrements, she still could have been wrong for you in many, many ways.  An ECD degree is not a guarantee of good nannying.  And absence of one is not a guarantee of bad one, either.

It is called a "false choice" not a "false dilemma" PP.

And what I wrote (clearly) is that the occupation is moving toward a degreed position.  Of course you will still find the majority of nannies simply being a babysitter but that is no longer sufficient for the educated parent.

Obviously our nanny could have been "wrong" for us but I would not have sought out an undocumented $12 an hour nanny because an MA/former teacher didn't work out -- anymore than I would seek medical treatment from an auto mechanic if my doctor misdiagnosed me.  I would seek another MD.

Choose as you wish, PP - no one is stopping you.  I am simply reporting my opinion and observations.

Have a nice weekend.    [/quote]
