Professional nannies are trained and educated. Your sitter isn't.

Sitter, yes.
Nanny, no.

OP, I see your point but why are you so angry? Also when employers want to pay wages a bit better then McDonalds then those are the nannies that apply.
16:53 you sound like someone from the nanny tribe. Actually many higher positions like those who can speak more then just English, let's not sterotype.

Most "nannies" in the DC area don't even speak English, but they sure are cheap.

All the highschool dropouts/ college dropouts run to nannying because it's the easiest "career" and they can get the benefits/perks that McDonalds workers don't get. The only nannies I take seriously are the ones with degrees and certifications to backup their career choice. Not the ones who think just because they speak English and drive a car that they're worth $20+ an hour. Lmao.

Sitters have always been affordable. What is new is everyone calling themselves/their babysitter a nanny. Traditionally a nanny provides more than supervision, works for wealthy families, and yes reaps the benefits of working for wealthy people ie. the perks OP resents. I work for solidly middle class families and have no expectation that I will be traveling on month long luxury vacations, driving a fancy work car, getting ridiculous bonuses, etc. I do however expect basic benefits, and to be treated with respect and appreciation. If an MB fussed at me for eating one of their precious organic apples I'd be gone in a New York minute.
Of course, it is important to note that nowhere in any of these insane food threads that have come up recently has one single MB fussed at anyone for eating an apple. Not even a precious organic one. Not one MB.
So, I guess your post is basically OT nonsense.

Lol. You can afford a sitter or daycare, not a nanny. Nannies are for wealthy families who can easily afford just about any perk their favorite nanny wants. But how would you know?

I think she's referring to the other poster who is obsessed with convincing us that all nannies should be provided with full meals and/or lunch breaks. That OP referred to "business lunches" on the company that she thinks all of us office workers get.

If you can name one, legitimate perk that CEO's and nannies share, OP, I'll take you seriously. I certainly can't think of any.
