Seriously, wtf is a baby nurse? A friend - more of an acquaintance - has been complaining on FB that her "baby nurse" is annoying and demanding. So, I genuinely was interested in what a baby nurse was. No one got back to me. Perhaps it's a yuppie/hipster/I live in Manhattan and married a stockbroker so we can afford to have someone else care for our kid sort of thing to HIRE someone to come to your home from anywhere from 7 to 90 days to "guide" you in parenting. These bitches, I mean nurses, don't' cook, clean or anything like that. They solely care for the baby and work to "educate the new parents on caring for their new infant, assists in establishing a routine eating/sleeping/wake schedule for the baby and provides lactation consulting to breastfeeding mothers." (according to the website http://www.californianannycompany.com/babynurse.htm)
What the fuck? This was a career option????? You get paid to live in someone else's house, I'm assuming eating their food, showering, using their electricity etc, and all you have to do is basically what all of us mothers do anyway??? These shysters make upwards of like 350 bucks PER DAY for this service. Let's see, 350X30 = OVER 10,000 DOLLARS! What the hell! Shit, do that like six times a year....damn! I missed to boat I guess, I'm doing this shit for free at home, when I could be doing it for SIX FIGURES!
*Note, SOME women who do this job are in fact NURSES, getting their starts in maternity wards. Though ALL have medical backgrounds, whatever that means, and they are trained in first aid and CPR. Fuck me, like I said, missing the boat. I got CPR certs, I can do first aid, shit.
