[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was me with my very first nanny job.

MB was pregnant and had 3 others under 6. I was a live in as well. 
I worked for the family for almost 10 years but I grew extremely close to the children, especially the youngest (as I was there since day one).

Parents traveled A LOT  mostly with out me and the kiddos. 
I ran the house, the bills, the kids, school, potty training, nightmares, anything and everything.  The parents when home, hated getting up at night with the baby or early with the kids. I did work 24/7. I missed a lot of my family things, which I regret but can't change. 
I did miss all of my 20s and left nanning for many years because I grew so close. 
I'm still in contact with the family and,see them almost every night. The youngest calls,me his 2nd mom.

I tell all my jobs (outside nanning and nanning) that they are my nieces and nephews. That way if something came up, emergency etc it would be ok to take off work.

It is more like an adoptive mom thing. I may never have children but those 4 are like my children.

My current family (and the one prior) I make sure to not grow too attached. I love the kids to death but I try to make sure that when i'm off I'm off and I keep work and my life separate.[/quote]
You were the ONLY mom to the kids for 10 years! I wonder what it was like for them when you left? Did the parents start learning to be parents, or did they get a new mom?[/quote]
