[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll tell you one thing and probably get flamed, as much as I see nannies on here say to be 100% business professional and "they are employers not friends" but as a nanny the thing I love most about being a nanny and working with my favorite families is that they feel like friends. They ask me about my day, my life, things I'm up to. They tell me about their plans, cute stories about the kids I might have missed from the weekends, and are just generally pleasant and caring.

This, 100%. The family I was with the longest (5+ years) treated me like family. They cared about me, as a person and not just as someone who was there to take care of their kids. They were concerned when I was sick, instead of annoyed I had to take a day off. They sent me flowers when I had surgery.They valued my opinion. We were a team. The mom and I actually became close friends and have continued our friendship even though I no longer work for them. They weren't able to offer the best benefits or vacation time, but they made up for it by the way they treated me.[/quote]

Another nanny here and I completely agree.[/quote]
