[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The REVOLUTION starts here.

1. Nannies typically can't find other jobs outside of the one they are in. Their skills, or their education is not marketable enough, and thus they choose this field. (USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE)
2. DON'T believe everything on this forum; The prices they quote for nannies is VERY VERY high.  We found one for about 13.50 and she is awesome. My parents even approved!
3. Create a list of activities, and duties to perform in the house, and monitor that. Nannies and babysitters are really the same if you have a fixed plan of activities, and items to perform.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a good, educated nanny was important to DH and me even though he had started a PhD program and I was earning about 150k a year.  We used our savings to pay for our nanny for those three years.  By the time my DD started preschool and aftercare, she was leap years ahead of her classmates thanks to our nanny as well as being a very happy and secure little kid.  Gratefully, our nanny has stayed in my DD’s life and is a beloved family friend.

So, yes - it can be done only if you have substantial savings and make it a priority. [/quote]

This was us. We had nannies for about 8 years. It put a big dent in our savings, but it was so worth it.[/quote][/quote]

I’m confused by your disregard of a profession that provides childcare services but yet you are choosing to use that service for yourself. With the way you speak of the profession why didn’t you put your child in daycare? Daycare seems like it would align closer to your beliefs.  [/quote]
