[quote=Anonymous]08:15 - I'm a nanny with a degree, teaching experience, and nanny experience. I am in the higher pay bracket. You don't want, you say, a nanny who will teach your child or who has extra qualifications and that's fine - I have always agreed there are good and bad nannies at every pay grade. But what I will say is that there is an enormous difference between the way I interact with my charges and the way the other young, HS-graduate nannies interact with theirs. They are snippy, impatient, disinterested and too busy gossiping with other nannies to play. Me? I'm on the floor pushing trucks, rolling hula hoops, and chasing down stray balls. Again this isn't true universally but it is true enough that others have commented on it. 9/10 of my nanny friends are also college grads bc I can't stand to spend any part of my day with nannies who complain about their job - and those of us who worked our way through school are, on the whole, way more appreciative.

Fwiw the other great nannies I see are 40+ Latina women who are just LOVELY with the kids (although I don't speak enough Spanish to get to know them personally).[/quote]
