I didn’t say that nannies aren’t childcare professionals. And I’d love to understand what exactly it is that your friend does if she’s not a nanny but doesn’t work in a center because I guess I’m just a bit confused. I have two degrees, and I know that I could make a good chunk of money “nannying and schooling” (as you said) for a family, but, to me, that’s a very different position than working in a childcare center in a classroom setting. 🙂
