It’s ok
I make mid six figures annually. I can afford one, but that doesn’t mean I should be taken advantage of by diva nannies who think they deserve CEO benefits with a GED.

Try daycare. Those daycare teachers make so little it will make you happy.
+1. And OP is in a really crappy practice. Maybe from one of those off-shore med schools.
Clearly you know nothing about medicine. I went to an “on shore” medical school, but that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter where you get your DO or MD from.

Our nanny has a degree in childhood education and ten years of experience as a teacher. Not unskilled. She, in fact, possesses skills OP and I do not have.
Yes, they generally get guaranteed hours because they are, by law, hourly workers instead of a weekly salary. Everyone needs to know their weekly salary.
And you’re not a “nanny parent”, OP! You’re a nanny employer (and my guess is that won’t be for long).
Not all nannies have degrees though, yet they all expect to be paid big bonuses and nickel and dime their employers acting like they’re a gift from God.

It's not skilled labor - there are no qualifications, certifications, or education requirements to be a nanny. So why do nannies require corporate benefits? I'm a nanny parent, a physician in private practice, and I don't even have the same benefits all these nannies are looking for. If I don't go to work, I don't make money. If I'm willing to work but there are no patients that need to be seen, I don't make money. I don't have guaranteed hours. No work? No paycheck. Nannies expect to be paid for 52 weeks of work in a year....there is no other industry where this is standard. Having a nanny is a luxury, but at the end of the day, it is unskilled labor.
