Nannies in the U.S.

The “traditional” American family originally consisted of a father who worked full time and a mother who stayed at home and cared for the children. While this “traditional” family may have existed 50 years ago, today women are finally getting out of the house and making names for themselves in the corporate world. Women are finally getting the recognition from their male counterparts, but what about the children? Obviously the children can’t care for themselves, so who does it? Day care does not have enough room for the thousands of kids in America, so families opt to hire nannies. My website discusses the hardships that nannies have in the work force and the lack of recognition every day people have of them. The Fair Labor Standards Act has its limitations, nannies can't always protect themselves.I also discuss the effects that nannies, especially immigrants, have on the economy as a whole. Does cheap labor really help? And what happens to the children?
