Ginger, actually you didn't had to read between the lines it's not a brainer as everything was there and open. I think you and Playfelt is missing something in my post. I said "...if you combine that with experiences..." I also believe you have this problem "reading between the lines" So may be if you could ignore my posts it would help you to get less stress on top of your daily stress.

What I'm getting from your comments on this is " traning should not make you think you deserve more and it doesn't make any difference really" am I correct? I wonder why I and many others "wasted" our time and efford and of course our money to be trained? Maybe I thought I can be more employable...? How dare I! And the funny thing is you said you are trained too. I wonder why you "wasted" your time since you could perfectly provide the care without it?
When I started doing this job I did not have the experience and the qualifications. Few families trusted in me and gave me the opportunity. But everytime I needed to find work I had to show families that I'm good at my job(had great referencess) and I'm committed. And this job wasn't something to fill the time untill I find a better! one. I was competing with other providers who had references and qualifications.
