Full-time Nanny with SAHP - Why?
| 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 have no idea what you were going to say, i cant read your mind :-) that is why i asked you . Although i dont think that is the reason everyone has a housekeeper! so I guess we dont all know why
I did come late your right, but you do realize that some families can raise their families on one income and

PNJsmom was under the impression I was using additional childcare. I was just clarifying that for me preschool functions as childcare.

But a quality nanny, child care center, family child care home or any other ECE setting you can name, should provide educational opportunities. . .just like a quality 'preschool'.
Children are at an age where they soak up learning opportunities in their world. . .everything is education to a young child. . .whether in a formal setting or not.
Not in my opinion. Not by a long shot. If it was childcare, why would everyone I know who has nannies also send their children to preschool? I know I didn't send my kids to preschool just so that I wouldn't have to watch them for a few hours, I sent them because I considered it enriching and beneficial to them.
You're easily the first person I've ever heard refer to preschool as childcare. That's definitely a first for me. Do you call the people who staff the school teachers or daycare workers? The people who taught my sons were teachers, with degrees and experience, not daycare workers. The place I brought them to was Community nursery SCHOOL, not ABC DAYCARE CENTER.
