[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone lost their job. Nannies more entitled than any other worker who is undocumented or under the table worker ? What is it about nannies that makes every story so tragic? Tragic would be they gave each other COVID somehow. [/quote]

Because a child loved the nanny and the nanny loved the child.

It’s just different.  Employing a nanny and being a nanny is a very different dynamic and connection than any other type of employment I’ve ever experienced.  If you’ve never been a nanny or employed a nanny who you and your child love, you won’t understand.  [/quote]

I've been a nanny, babysitter, day care worker and another profession working for kids.  I never "loved" the kids I cared for.  Some I liked more than others but all would say they were my favorite as I treated them all like I'd want mine treated.  The love I have for my kids is not comparable.  I cannot remember the names of any of the kids and I had nannies growing up and I don't remember any of them.  They would stop by to see my parents when we were older every few years and I had no idea who they were without prompting or cared.[/quote]
