It is strange as I replied to this topic last night but it seems it disappeared. Strange. Anyway.

Playfelt, I know degrees doesn't make you a better diaper changer than a mom who is on maternity leave(In this business everybody thinks that they can look after children and it is an easy job, maybe that is why people doesn't really recognise this as a profession, but that's another story). But if you combine that with experiences then it does.
Looking after an infant not only means changing her/his diapers. You have to understand why is s/he crying and find solutions, set up a routine etc. If I didn't have my qualifications and experience I wouldn't understand and know how to deal with them.

It's like when you apply for a position you tell them what you can do and for them to give you the job you need to show them what you have been trained for. I know you don't have to do masters in this field to be a good caregiver but it helps to put you on top of their list and it also does broaden your choices.

As some of you had said, as long as I get parents' sing up I shouldn't be consern.

Thank you for all your responses.
Have a lovely day
