[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been working as a first time nanny for over a year although I was a preschool teacher for nearly two decades prior.  I am the nanny for a wonderful little boy and have been since his birth.  I love working one-on-one with him; I love helping him learn, communicate and develop; I love making him fresh, healthful foods every day - generally I love being a nanny.  But I'm definitely concerned that I am too attached to him.  While I love when the work day is done and so appreciate my weekends and evenings, I do think of him often on weekends and do research on various topics that apply to his age group.  He has good and loving parents but I worry about safety issues that they don't seem terribly concerned with when I'm not with him.  It's not an all consuming worry by any means and I do have a nice, happy life outside of work (married to my childhood sweetheart for twenty-seven years but never had nor wanted children of our own -- which may make my feelings in this situation more intense?)

But is there a danger of becoming too attached to a charge?  And if so, how do I mitigate it? All of the years I taught preschool and a few years that I worked in daycare settings I thought I loved "my kids" but nothing compared the love I feel for my charge as a nanny.  [/quote]

Please don't cross the line,if you do you going to have lots problem in future.... Think that ,they pay you for this job,you not belonge to the family root,you can love the baby,but don't get so crazy.[/quote]
