Are any MBs secure and happy in their position with their nanny?

Otherwise, yes, I'm plenty secure and happy in my position with my nanny and she appears so with me.

If you're secure, you would have no idea. Good for you.

Well, considering you have provided zero examples of whatever you think you're trying to talk about, no smart and thinking person would have any idea how to read your tiny mind.

Since our nanny has chosen to say to stay with us for six years, she's apparently secure and happy, as are we.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Try making sense next time you post.

The poster complimented you, Dumb Ass. Go back and read her response again.

This is honestly the only part of the job that rubs me the wrong way. I am a good, if not great, nanny in regard to my care and teaching of my charge. I am very professional about arriving on time, never calling in sick, never asking for time off and never using my phone when I am working except to speak to my charge's parents. I have no problem whatsoever picking up after my charge, making all his food, doing all his laundry and cleaning his room and play area and actually find household chores relaxing when my charge is napping. But I LOATHE having to build up my MB's ego or treading so carefully to make sure she feels important.

She is my charge's mother for all of his life and no one will ever take her place. Chances are that my charge will age out of needing a nanny before he is five and thus will not even actively remember me. I should NOT have to build up my MB at the end of a long day or pretend that my charge missed her when he clearly didn't (he is two and a half, for God's sake - I should need to make excuses for a toddler!).

No, not all MBs need that. My children have aged out of nanny care, but when we had a nanny, I never asked and I honestly didn't care if they missed me during the day. I still don't. I'm their mom, I'm going to be there pretty much till I die. How can you miss someone who never goes away? All I wanted was for them to have a good time with nanny.
