From your baby's perspective, choosing the right nanny is probably
the most important decision a parent can ever make: this book is
about making the best possible choice. Coming home to an abused,
badly injured, or even deceased child is a parent's most horrific,
unimaginable scenario. And yet it happens: In 2012, two small
children died while in the care of a nanny. The Nanny Time Bomb is
the most accurate and comprehensive analysis of the current crisis
in child care, offering case studies and practical advice to help
parents make the most educated, well-informed decision when
choosing a nanny for their child. The book takes the reader through
various types of nannies-from graduates to undocumented
workers-thus allowing parents to see how the industry has evolved
far past schoolgirl babysitters. Setting itself apart, Jacalyn S.
Burke's exploration of the different types of nannies offers a new
perspective on child care not only for parents but also for those
interested in larger sociological trends. This book gives a voice
to the often-unheard grievances of nannies, showing why they may
snap; explaining how to prevent tragedies; and describing how
parenting has evolved. The author's examination of current cultural
and social trends will be useful for a wide readership beyond
parents. Contains explosive new information about the child care
industry Analyzes the roles that race, immigration, gender, class,
and culture play in child care practice Offers parents a definitive
guide to making the best child care choices Presents a realistic
picture of the child care industry today based on 10 years of
direct, on-the-job experience
