[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.

Agree completely! I recently had surgery and MB texted every single day until I came back(which was well over a week) asking how I was healing up and if I needed her to bring me anything. I didn't, but it meant the world to know that she cared. The family knows my family well and I know their extended family well. It's good to know that they actually give a shit about me as a person not just as their nanny. [/quote]

Yup, it's wonderful. I moved apartments and mentioned it to MB and two or three weeks later when I moved they gave me a gift and a card from the kids saying to enjoy the new place. It made me feel great and so happy to be working for them. Something so small every 3-6 months along with the conversations and pleasantries goes a long way.[/quote]
