[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes by law you have too. I wouldn't work for a household who had camera's and didn't tell me about it and I found out. I also don't work for jobs who have cameras period. If you can't trust me on the job then I don't want the job. [/quote]

Wrong, by law you do not have to disclose. [/quote]
By law, you can scramble for childcare tomorrow. or just stay home. :) [/quote]

Ok. We will scramble for 1 day. You will be replaced the next day. Thanks.[/quote]
This is why there's such a problem. Stupid parents will take all of one day to find and hire a new nanny. It's called the revolving nanny door. Those poor kids get attachment disorders.[/quote]

Uh, my kids are 8 and they are very well rounded. Thank you. You nannies seem to think that you are hot stuff and so indispensable but the truth is there are tons and tons and tons of "caring attentive" people out there. No real skills are needed except the skills you learned as children playing well and being nice and making simple meals. When we dropped our rate a bit it took a while but when we advertise "competitive rate" I get a resume about one every 20 minutes on my email. After 24 hours, I have about 50 and one of those are a good fit. Thank you very much.

I see it over and over on this bulletin board where the nannies really have no cards to play and are so bitter about it. If you are an excellent nanny and smart and play your cards right, you can get a job working with children as a teacher. There is a real certified teacher shortage right now and you can easily get a job making 50-70k plus benefits. Fact is, you are not smart, you didn't work hard, and you didn't play your cards right in life. Deal with it. [/quote]

There are a number of nannies certified to teach who simply don't want to deal with 20-30 sets of parents all sure that their child is perfect.  They don't have the time to teach everything which is required, give advanced students extra work and guidance, make sure that students who don't understand have the necessary one-on-one help and deal with the inevitable behavior problems.  Add in all the work outside of the school day, the violence that crops up even in elementary schools, and all the other crap that teachers face, and it's no wonder nannies don't want to teach.  I don't, not after volunteering in an early elementary school for two years.  I saw a student throw a desk at the teacher across the room, but all she could do was remove the other children from the classroom.  Another teacher had me working with three students one-on-one for 30 minutes each day because they transferred in during the first couple weeks of school, and the parents wouldn't consent to the kids repeating kindergarten, even though they didn't know all their letters and sounds.  I did copying, die-cuts, laminating, anything to keep them in the classroom with the students and free up their time before and after school for extra tutoring.  Teaching is a worthy profession, but why would a nanny want to do it?

So, in your estimation, a nanny makes simple meals, teaches a young child to share and other manners, but that's about it?  I'm glad that you were happy with that.  However, I do much more, as do many nannies, and compensation should reflect that.  If you want a babysitter who will keep your child safe and not do much else, great.  But a nanny does so much more.[/quote]
