Is the Nanny overpaid? No!"},"content":{"rendered":"

There\u2019s been a lot of press given to the nanny in England being paid $200,000 a year by a Russian billionaire that came from an article in the Wall Street Journal a few days ago. Sure it\u2019s interesting that a nanny job <\/a>can pay that kind of money, but all of us that have been in the nanny agency business know that the nanny is no doubt underpaid–and nanny agency<\/a>, watch out for the replacement! What caught my eye at the bottom of the article was the quote from a British Manny about the neglect that takes place commonly in this economic stratosphere. I remember too clearly some of the ultra-wealthy and celebrity clients my agency had and how they so often never spent time with their children, but bought them everything imaginable. I think that frequently these kids are looked at as spoiled and indulged, which they may be, but more importantly they\u2019re emotionally bereft of their parent\u2019s attention and suffer terribly. Many will spend their lives trying to find their place in the world. Nannies frequently feel so much for their charges in these circumstances that they\u2019re reluctant to leave the job because they know they\u2019re the child\u2019s lifeline. What a predicament for the nanny! In some way these emotionally deprived children are at the opposite end of the spectrum of the \u201chelicopter parent.\u201d I don\u2019t like helicopter parenting for many reasons, but if you had to choose it\u2019s better for the children than absent, neglectful parenting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
