A top nanny with child is worth less than the same nanny without. [/quote]
Maybe, but no two nannies are identical, neither are any two parents identical. One nanny is always the overall preferred nanny by any particular parent.

On the other hand, just think of how many parents have a second child, just so the first one doesn't get spoiled rotten. I've had parents tell me they specifically wanted a nanny with child for that very reason. [/quote]
Parents who are so bent on having a second child might as well just have it.  Besides, it's not like company of small children is difficult to get. There are playdates, schoolmates, neighbors - no need to rent a baby by hiring its mother, especially when it's a virtual certainty that both baby and mother will eventually be gone from that child's life.

I also think parents don't have a second child JUST so that the first one doesn't get spoiled. There are usually quite a few more factors at play.

That's not to say that a nanny with child won't be able to find a good gig.  Just that it will be progressively more difficult, and her options won't be abundant. [/quote]
You sound angry and resentful. Why?[/quote]
