[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've formed bonds with all my charges but with appropriate boundaries. I rarely have contact with my former charges, mostly because they've moved on to different phases in their lives. I love my current charges but one day this job will end like all the others. I will miss them, of course, but they're not my children so I don't feel grieving is necessary. No one died. I'm a great nanny but I'm also a mother and my child is who I give my unconditional love to, much like these parents whom you say don't understand. I feel some nannies form unhealthy attachments and the parents see that. These kids aren't yours...so move on. Not trying to be snarky...just being straightforward.[/quote]
Some parents feel blessed when they find a nanny who treats her charge "as her own." I guess you wouldn't be that sort of nanny.[/quote]
There is room for all kinds of nannies out there. If nannies treated children as their own, some of them wouldn't be as effective. Sometimes it's easier to discipline, tutor and set boundaries for a non-parent and you get better cooperation from the child.[/quote]
The best parents and the best nannies are the ones who have the ability to best meet the real needs of the individual child before them. [/quote]
