[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just be honest and say she is moving. She spent time with your child but now that she is a big girl, Nanny has to help other kids because it is their turn. [b]Mommies are always the same mommies but Nannies take very good care of children and then go to help other children. That’s what I would say. [/b][/quote] Honestly, I would find this part obnoxious. [/quote] Why? It worked for Nanny Poppins and it's also true. Stop lying to your children.[/quote] You know Mary Poppins wasn’t a real person, right? OP, you handle it respectfully and lovingly. I like the suggestion that you start making fun plans for things you’re going to do for nanny when she moves - send cookies, drawings, etc and FaceTime is great. My son is six and still sees his nanny regularly but loves FaceTiming her. His nanny also made a point of making his “new life” sound wonderful. He’s been so blessed by her presence. [/quote]
