[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say that a high-end nanny is one with a good track record and a known success rate. You can have a PhD in education or psychology and still have no skill with children.

More valuable than looking at a nanny's resume might be looking at the resumes of her children - either the ones she cared for longterm or the ones she gave birth to. If her children dropped out of school or are in jail, you know something about how successful her methods are. If she's too young to have any children, you have an inexperienced person on your hands.

You do realize some women choose not to have children or physically can't. Not only that, the success rate of her charges is determined by their parents and SES, not their nanny. You sound completely inexperienced and uneducated.[/quote]

She's the nanny constantly claiming to be paid $25/hour at minimum, and if you ask her what special skills or qualifications she brings to the table she tells tells you about her "success rate". What does that even mean? You've been successful at keeping the kids alive each day? What? If you mean that the children in your care have been successful in life, what makes you so sure it had anything to do with you?[/quote]
It's called nature vs. nurture. We'll never know for sure what matters more, but most intelligent people know that nurture certainly matters a lot.[/quote]
