Hitting developmental milestones doesn't happen in a day and cannot be attributed to a single person. Anyone who thinks that doesn't understand child development at all. While a nanny is a very important part of a child's growth and development, they are not exclusively responsible for growth.

Parents should absolutely thank nannies for their hard work all the time. But nannies also need to understand that they are still employees doing a job and they should not need constant praise for doing that job.

Also, it's pretty delusional and overly self important to think that MBs are jealous of nannies. Projecting that kind of attitude is offensive and it's far more likely that MBs don't like you for your smugness rather than being jealous of you. If they were jealous, they'd probably opt for daycare.



Struck a nerve huh?

What a stupidly tiresome response. Is this all you have when someone disagrees with you? That and name calling? Let's not bother with facts and knowledge and common sense. That would blow your tiny mind.

Calling me a bitter mommy for having the audacity to know far more than you about child development shows how ignorant and entitled you are. This is why no one respects the nannies on this board.

Of course, it's always about the money for the nannies on this board.

At events and when I'm with the parents or grand parents they are always giving me credit (almost 100%) to me for my NK behavior and development. I know I am responsible for most of it. They say I'm more than a nanny, I'm a governess or tutor. My big problem is...in two years I haven't got a raise or bonus!

The same MBs who do what you all are encountering are the same ones who will come on here and say anyone can be a nanny, its not that hard, and the stupidest of all "if you wanted to make more money, you should have gotten an education." All instead of admitting that some nannies are educated and highly qualified, deserving of higher rates and benefits, and actually can have a profound impact on the development of their child. They either can't afford that nanny, think they have that nanny for a deal, have that nanny and are underpaying her, or have that nanny and are threatened by how good she is.
