[quote=Anonymous]A nanny can't replace a mom or a dad, but if the real question is can a nanny do as good a job providing a happy, healthy and loving environment during the day as a stay-at-home-parent could, then the answer is yes, and often even better (because the nanny has the benefit of experience and down time at home each night).  I have loved all of my charges dearly and still see most of them at least every few years (that includes several who live in other states).   On a typical day, with my current charges (six-month-old twins)  I arrive and wake them up by singing our special good morning song that I have sung them every day that I've seen them since I started work with them when they were only one week old.  I get them ready for the day with lots of kisses and cuddles, feed them the solid food that I made from scratch, take them on walks and outings and do arts and crafts projects to give to their parents and grandparents, and tuck them in for naps by singing special lullabies. During naptime,  I read up on developmental issues pertaining to their age and pertaining to months ahead. I research how to help them with things they are going through (teething at the moment) and plan and prepare for things that are coming (like the eight months sleep regression).  There are other benefits to having a nanny that are more for the parents, such as unloading the dishwasher each morning, doing all of the babies laundry and washing all of their bottles, sanitizing their toys, and keeping the house tidy and organized during the day, but it seems that your main question is whether your child will feel  loved and be positively engaged by someone who is not a parent. The answer is that there are many people like myself who absolutely love children, in many cases all children, but especially the children that we are allowed to borrow as nannies. [/quote]
