Where are you at?
Nannies are cheaper than daycare starting at 1 kid and the cost becomes overwhelming in favor of a nanny when there's multiple kids. You can also have the nanny watch other kids in the neighborhood if you only have 1 kid.
- DeRock 1y agoPaying someone to watch your children full time so that you can do your full time job is inherently classist. Who takes care of the nannies kids? The solution to "kids are expensive" being to just pay someone lower class to do it is absurd. > You can also have the nanny watch other kids in the neighborhood if you only have 1 kid. You're re-inventing daycare here.
- bawolff 1y agoJust because something is classist doesn't mean its not an economically viable option for a large group of people.
- ebonnafoux 1y ago> Who takes care of the nannies kids? Nannies take multiple children (up to 4 here in France) at the same time. So he/she can take his/her own.
- scottyah 1y agoAlso they only need to be nannied for a couple years, so there's like 48-40 other years of their lives where they can spend the bulk of their focus on the kid they're nannying instead of their own.
- aianus 1y agoIt's classist that I have to work every day and the owners of capital do not, so what? There is nothing morally wrong with hiring someone to do labor for you.
- polishdude20 1y agoThe solution to "my garbage is piling up on the street" being to just pay a garbage person to remove it is absurd.
- phatfish 1y agoNot to mention, what is the point of having kids if you are just going to pay someone else to raise them?
- potato3732842 1y ago>Where are you at? There are two ways to hire a nanny. The "law abiding as a point of pride" way is comically expensive. The "pay your neighbor's teenager cash" way is cheap. If even that's too expensive for you then send your kids to whatever unlicensed, uninsured, unregulated daycare that some tradesman's wife runs out of her house.
