[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In order to maximize your children's brain development, Parents should create an AGENDA for their nanny or babysitter to do. This will reduce the 'educational' requirement needed for your nanny. A Simple Amazon search based on your children's age provides a list of books, flash cards, and toys that can stimulate brain growth.

Now it is as simple as telling your nanny to 'read to your kid' and do the activities.  Mothers have been doing this for generations without advanced degrees, and the amount of education to flip a card or open a book really isn't that much.

[quote=Anonymous]You are clearly oversimplifying the situation by claiming a cheaper person is just a 'warm body'.  Ultimately, the job of being a Nanny does NOT require a college education at all. It is fairly elite to think those with college educations are 'better' than those that are not! I know many people that have not gone to college nor take care-taking classes, and yet are EXCELLENT mothers.  The assumption here is if mothers don't need an education to be a mother, then why would a nanny need one to act as such.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know a single nanny willing to accept $13.50/hour.  Good luck to you.

You do you, PP.  Good luck to your poor children.  I want the best for my children which includes a nanny who engages and teaches.  I want more than a warm body to watch my kids.  I wouldn’t hire an uneducated nanny anymore than I would send them to school to be taught by a high school drop out.  [/quote][/quote][/quote]

Yes.  That is all I do all day.  Just sit there doing educational activities that someone found on amazon.  The children always listen and sit quietly doing their homework, so I never need to talk to them or discipline them, which is convenient since I don’t know how to do anything.[/quote]
