[quote=Anonymous]My mom is amazing with my kids. She's a retired elementary school teacher and she does projects with them, bakes, plays games, bikes, swims - she does it all. We are so lucky. I think the difference is that the kids recognize that she is special as a family member - she is "theirs" and they love her. Not all grandparent relationships can be like this, but when they are, they always surpass paid help IMO. My kids loved their nanny too, but when she left for a new job it was understood she wasn't going to be around as much and they were a little sad. I think if their grandmother "left" they would be devastated.[/quote]
