That is true. I don’t. My nanny doesn’t have a college degree. I’m OK with that. A lot of people are OK with that, because they don’t want to spend $27/hr. for someone to watch one infant.
NP here. I wanted much more than someone to watch my infant. I have a college educated nanny who narrates, talks, reads and sings to my baby as well as loves him. I also wanted a nanny with good grammar and a rich vocabulary. The first three years are the most important in brain development and establishing connections.
I actually wish there were two different names for the teacher/nanny and the housekeeper/nanny.
There are: nanny and housekeeper.
A nanny doesn’t have to have a degree to do all of this.
Generally, you do.
You need a degree to sing lullabies and have good grammar?
NP here. A college degree provides so much more. If you expect your children’s teachers to be degreed, I don’t understand why you’d want less from a nanny. Just my opinion and preference.

No. NP here and you can be foreign born with perfect grammar and a rich English (or another required language) vocabulary.
DH and I are college educated and wanted a college educated nanny for our child. It’s a preference like any other. I have no clue why you’re trying to make it into something more.

A teacher has a teaching degree, in this area, at some point required to have a masters degree and a license. If you are a licensed teacher, you are a teacher. If you don't and a caretaker, you are a babysitter or nanny.
Most states don’t require homeschool teachers or tutors to be licensed, provided that the person does not misrepresent themself. I am a teacher.
Yes, I know. And I’m saying our nanny has the credentials.

Our nanny has a teaching degree and all her coursework done for her masters.
What’s your point?

Anyone here think all this “nanny with a degree” business is just a dog whistle? I mean really, you can’t find anyone without a degree who speaks with proper grammar?

We want someone who has actual hands on experience with an infant, not someone who just took a couple of classes. It’s like a new parent. You can read as many parenting books, but you will never really know until your baby is here and you learn.
We are starting at $23/hour and will see what candidates we can get. We will raise it to $25/hour if we need to.
So get a nanny with a degree AND experience. They aren’t mutually exclusive, OP. You may get an educated, experienced nanny in your price range.
Don’t settle.
