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 said one parent staying home with the children fulltime is probably enough, no need for both parents to be home all day. And I didn't specify which parent it had to be, it doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned.
Way to completely twist what I said, it's not even close.
Not a chance. It's not their teachers job to provide childcare for you, it's his or her job to teach them. I hope you learn the difference soon.
Actually if you read the Enquirer or the likes you would get that impression.

But let's not forget that she travelled with the nanny (ies?) and even though she deviated from the norm in that she brought her children with, she was still performing unpaid work away from the children 40+ hours during those travels.

Why would everyone you know who uses a nanny also utilize preschools?
Hmm. . .because like you, they are misinformed about the educational opportunities available to children in a multitude of ECE settings OR because they want to allow their children the opportunity to interact with a consistent group of children without the oversight of a nanny or parent.
A child care center in my town requires their teachers to have either ECE or elementary ed degrees, though they need not be certified.
No, in ECE it is the teacher's job to provide an environment that facilitates LEARNING. . .and that can happen in many settings.
I view the preschool's primary purpose as educational. But that doesn't mean that there aren't secondary purposes. For me preschool does function as childcare. The fact that I put him there primarily for education does not negate the secondary purpose.
