[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know who has knowledge of child development? People who have raised kids or have had other long-term experience with children. Nannies don't make the world go round. They are a luxury for people who can afford it/find it necessary. I'm a nanny but it's embarrassing how many people think this should be taken seriously as a career.

Careers offer opportunities for advancement. With the exception of your $1 or $2 a year raise, where are these opportunities for nannies?

Your position will never be permanent. I could go to law school and become a lawyer for the next 50 years of my life. But being a nanny will always be a temporary job because children grow up and become dependent enough to not need to be under constant supervision.

It's great if you can get by for the rest of your life on this kind of money, but honestly it's not a very respectable job. And keep in mind, I'm a nanny saying this.[/quote]

If you think raising kids means someone has knowledge of child development, you are sadly mistaken.

If you think it is a good idea to insult the very idea of your own livelihood, then I'd wager you're a pretty crappy nanny.

If you think it is appropriate to insult someone for working a job in retail, or construction, or any other type where the opportunities for "career advancement" are lacking - including nannies - then you're just a crappy person.
