disagree  Ariadna Castillo González: Las personas que trabajan en una guardería no son "canguros". Un "canguro" no necesita tener estudios, se contrata de forma privada, mientras que para trabajar en una guardería se necesita un título universitario (al menos así funciona en España) :)

  -> Dont'be offended. I've taken this definition from el Diccionario de la Lengua Española de la R.A.E. and I simply translated what was writen in English. Un educador, que yo y la propia R.A.E. sepamos "educa" which is "rather"different than " take care".
