Full-time Nanny with SAHP - Why?
1258
Tue, 02-10-2004 - 6:41pm
Something I've often wondered about, but never had the opportunity to ask. Why do SAHM or SAHD need a full time nanny, especially when they aren't working from home. I can easily see the need if the SAHP is a WAHP, but what is the logic for a full time nanny otherwise?

Any comments?

I don't know that much about the education system in the US. Here, generally "University" is a 4 year degree granting institution, and "college" is a two year diploma program, which may or may not be transferable to a university (depends entirely on the program and school affiliation).

In order to teach in this province (even substitute), you must have a teaching certificate. The certificate has the following qualifications:

-holds a Bachelor of Education degree from a faculty of education of a university in this province,

-holds an acceptable degree, other than a degree in education, from a university in this province or from an approved institution and completes an approved professional teacher education program in a faculty of education of a university in this province or at any other approved institution, or

-holds an acceptable degree in education from an approved institution outside this province and completes any additional work that may be required by the Registrar.

Those qualifications are for an Interim certificate only. To obtain a permanent certificate, one must meet those qualifications plus have two years teaching experience and a written recommendation from a school superintendent.

In Connecticut you need a 4 year degree to sub, but it can be in any discipline.

Oh brother. I'm just going to take that as a no, you do not volunteer anywhere near the hours that we're talking about, nor do you pay for childcare to do so.

Oh and please turn your friend on about this site, if she can spare the time away from ding spectacular things. I'd love to chat with her. You better believe I have the nerve.

In the US you don't need a teaching certificate to be a substitute in many districts, only a certain number of college credit hours....I think in my district it is 90credit hours....which is why I mentioned it


In the US I would say that my kids are going to college....which means they, hopefully, will attend a 4+ year University or College.

You can't call yourself a university unless you offer graduate level studies.

In FL, you do not need a degree to sub, but you make more per hour if you have one.

Really? By graduate do you mean bachelors or masters?

You can call yourself a college if you want, even if you offer graduate studies - you don't have to go with the "university" title.
