[quote=Anonymous]I was a 60-hour a week live-in nanny for 2 kids for 4 years.  I was (and still am 2 years later) their emergency contact and the person listed as the kids' guardian in their will.  I did call the kids "my babies," but more as a joke.  I posted photos of them online at their parents' request, so that far-away relatives could see the photos of the kids.  The mom had far fewer photos than I because she and DB both spent less time during waking hours with the kids than I did.  I stopped working for them last fall when the youngest started all-day Kindergarten and I just took the kids to my parents' house on the shore for Memorial Day weekend without the MB or DB (they had to work part of the weekend and would rather the kids have fun at the beach than be stuck home with them).

Even -I- think your nanny is over-the-top.  Her job is 1) to give your kid a happy, healthy childhood and 2) to support your family.  Her job is NOT to provide herself with a "pet child" or to undermine your relationship with your kid.  I would honestly start looking for preschools for the fall and switch to a part-time nanny and preschool rather than full-time nanny who is obsessed with treating your daughter like her own personal toy.[/quote]
