I do agree that it's easier to be patient as a nanny than a parent and that genuine respect and appreciation are always welcome. I think this is from the perspection of a young person who works as a nanny for a few years, not from the POV of a career nanny.
She clearly states several times she's twenty something, so clearly not a career nanny perspective.
I personally found it very true to how I felt when I was starting out - especially with the families I loved and got along with. Now that I'm much older it's a bit different, but the sentiment of 'I get to leave' is still there. On the worst days I am just counting down until it's time to go to my lovely quiet home which makes it easier to deal with kids who are being terrible.
