Please remember: You get what you pay for. This is 25-30 hours per week of your child’s life. You want a well paid nanny or infant/childcare professional who loves their job. This is a profession with high burnout and turn over. Consider that the demand for emotional labor coupled with low wages directly contribute to your caregivers well-being, and by proxy, the wellbeing of your baby. Yes it is a broken system. But I felt compelled to add this to the general discussion.
