My sister was like that... not willing to make sacrifices with her career. She certainly did not NEED the money since she was married to a multi-millionaire at that time. Too many people are letting others raise their children because they are either getting their ego stroked like my sister, or because they are working for more money to buy things, most of which they do not need, or in the cases of many unemployed mothers, just to be able to go have fun and let someone else deal with the kids... and their kids are the ones who are paying for it.
I have no sympathies for this stuff.. so far as I am concerned, the parents who hire an illegal for a nanny can go straight to jail. I think that knowingly hiring a criminal to be the caregiver of your child is an obvious act of child neglect.
