Other people may look down on a nanny, but many households today are grateful for a nanny, present and past. Without a nanny, parents would not be able to juggle between
work and home. Children would also not be guided properly if not for the availability of a nanny.
Despite some notions that a nanny is just a helper or a maid, being a nanny really is a serious profession. Just consider: a nanny logs in time and spends an average of about twenty five hours a week merely doing her job. That is more than what a regular office worker puts in a company. Although there are nannies that work twenty-four seven, the
typical schedule is different in the United States.
Plus, it must also be remembered that a nanny most probably has her own family to feed, so rendering about fifty hours every week in another house means more time being away from the nanny's own family. In addition, a nanny also has to have day-offs so that the nanny would not be burned out with all the hours she spends in her employer's
dwelling place.
