    I see a few negative replies, and now that I own a small family child care, I have to agree that if your child is very young (like an infant), and you want them to have one on one attention while your working HIRE A NANNY.
    Don't expect your baby to be in a house full of 6 kids under age three, and get ALL the attention they need (or the best).
    Daycare is not evil, and it's also beneficial to children to be around others and learn to be polite to one another, and share and to learn they must wait their turn. But from what I've seen and what I know about child development, I think daycare is best on a part time basis and best after the child is more of a toddler.
    Once the child is in preschool, or even school age then I think they benefit greatly from daycare because they naturally are more social in this developmental stage...In my area schools have after school programs. Depending on the program the children may look forward to the more "play like" time with friends.
    I also have to agree that in a perfect world, every family would have a nanny, especially if the child is newborn, to have some help with the practical things like cooking and laundry, or to get a short break to be able to shower or do whatever other self care is needed. I think it's quite unhealthy for a mother to do it all 24/7. We are tribal by nature.
    And for goodness sake, if you're able and your heart's in it, stay home as long as you can after your child is born. They need you more than they need money and things.

Westernized life is nice but I think we need to get back that community spirit.

When I'll be a mother I will probably transition to childminding. Some mothers can't stay with their children because they get bored. I don't judge and I appreciate their honesty.

    I'm a mother and doing all the work that was described in the nanny video. I'm not trained in any special school or graduate from any college. I make so many mistakes and I learn from them. No one pays me a dollar or salary for looking after 4 children. There is no off day, no break, no MC, 24/7. I have been staying home for 12 years with my 2 boys and a set of twins girls. I look after them all by myself, with no other help. My husband helps out after his work daily. I realise this is my role and responsibility as a mother. This is the greatest job I can do. Good for those who can afford a nanny or extra help. It's really nice to have extra pairs of hands. It has been very very difficult for me. By the grace of God, we pull through the last 12 years. My 5th child is coming on the way.

    • @missrunbunnyrun
      @missrunbunnyrun 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @Jason and Julie Smith first off I do agree in today's society expectations of mothers to be the perfect mom and to be able to work is extremely difficult. I also understand that having a nanny is there to help. However whether intended or not the duties of which these nannies undertake make the nanny to become a surrogate mother to the child. Between the household chores such as washing the child's laundry to cooking, waking the child up to making the childs dinner, to spending most of its time teaching and playing with one specific adult; that essentially causes the nanny to assume the mothering role. In a larger setting such as a nursery there is not primary caregiver to one child and there no one become a mother to any of the children. Moreover as you mentioned history, historically within the poorer classes of history a child would be working with its mother's either in the fields or later earning money in factories. A child was considered to be there to help improve the economy of it family. The middle classes and upper classes did employ nannies however it was to the assumption that children were be seen but not heard. Of course there is a historical debate of whether children prior to last century were a product of duty or affection and I can send you some authors to read if choose to. Lastly you can be invested in your childs life without assigning the role to another yes parents need to work to support there children but there is difference between becoming a substitute mother to these children and a caregiver who looks after a child in there absence. A balance which does not appear to be adhered to here.

    • @missrunbunnyrun
      @missrunbunnyrun 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @Jason and Julie Smith first I am not insecure or bitter about motherhood. Secondly I made one comment of which I said the roles of which these nannies were to basically to become like mothers and to assume that role from both this video as well as another video I had watched which was the two hour documentary which showed the institution and training of these nannies. You say I am judgemental, uneducated and insecure because of this but you are the one who feels the need to not only aggressively try analyse me and therefore judge me as bitter and insecure but also write exceeding long speeches that are supposedly not jugemental? The roles of these women are to effectively to become the parents and caregiver to the child while the actual parent is absent. That is the duty of a nanny. The success and attachment of this between the child nanny and the parents and is dependant upon the dynamics each individual family. I used the term mother as those who were vastly attending the institution were women not because I believe that men are incapable of chores or that it is not there place. Now judging by the response in which you have wrote I think personally you need to see someone about your anger issues as I worry about how you react if anyone personally challenge your view. I personally believe when a child is surrounded by other children is a similar environment boundaries are not crossed nor is there a confusion in the roles for the child. Moreover when a child no longer cries when being dropped off nursery is a moment of pride for the child is growing not sorrow although it is perfectly normal to have a MOMENT of sadness that you no longer essential in that role. I wish you luck in future and hope that you realise that just because someone has a different opinion to you does not make it necessary for you be derogatory towards them. I hope that if you are in the position of looking after children that you are better than that. Best wishes.

    • @missrunbunnyrun
      @missrunbunnyrun 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @Jason and Julie Smith what I take as hostile behaviour is you simply insulting me because I have a different opinion to you. I understand why you believe that in YOUR opinion having a personalised nanny is better for the child. I understand that it can in some respects create stability in the home and the additional help can be beneficial to child. I also understand that the bond formed between parent and child and nanny are different depending upon the situations. What I dislike about the arrangement is that depending on the level of involvement of the nanny in the child's life this can create confusion for the child. Of course this also depends upon the parents of the child as well. In addition if the child spends the majority of there time with one adult who fulfills a parental role then in some respects they become akin to parents. I also acknowledge that the benefits between having a personalised nanny or sending a child to daycare is widely debated both between parents and academics. Moreover both family and friends who are fully trained nursery staff who are trained to look after children from a 1 day old till 18 including children with special needs. We had debates between ourselves of what we thought was better for a child's development and despite different qualified members having differing opinions not once did we feel it necessary to insult one another for having that difference of opinion. Lasly I strongly suggest you speak to someone about your insecurities with someone simply having a difference of opinion to you as throughout this whole discussion you have insulted and patronised me simply because I did not agree with you. Despite this not once have I suggested you should not have kids or named called against you. I am personally worried if you are looking after kids by not only your aggressive behaviour but also by how you respond to being disagreed with. By the way I have a degree and a master's I am not uneducated nor am I a victim i simply differ in opinion to you. I hope you get the support you need.

    No doubt that this young woman is great at her job. But with regards to psychology and the development of symbiose between the mother and child, it does not make sense. There is a reason we bond with the mother completely for about a year, and then the bond is slowly broken in a way that is safe for a child. Nothing can replace that. Then the nanny would be the mommy. And the mother would feel that and have ambivalent feelings towards the woman caring for her child. I would consider a nanny, if I had the dosh, but only around 2 years of age and up. Otherwise - if the child is younger- house help and the occasional help with feeding, changing and so forth. I know it is faux pas to say this- and women are constantly being told what to do and what not to do. But this is based on many types of research in child development. There are also differences- huge- in the said mother and child. Some women hate staying home so much- usually if they have a great job waiting for them. It can lonely and exhausting o be alone with a child.
