[quote=Anonymous]I'm just wondering how other MBs and nannies feel about this.  Our former nanny was with us for about 10 months until last September.  FN was on the older side and had medical issues and we had had a talk with her months before that we would look for her replacement in late summer so it wasn't a huge shocker when we did let her go.  Very nice lady, but seemed a bit too emotional to be professional in her job, she's a grandmotherly type who got VERY attached to DC in the first couple weeks on the job.  I want DC to be loved by nanny, but it seemed odd and a little concerning to me that FN got so attached so quickly and my friends would joke a la Hand that Rocks the Cradle.  Anyway, fast forward to today, we ran into FN, who was taking care of her new charge, at a local indoor playground.  We were both pleasant with each other, chatted for a few minutes, FN commented on how much DC had grown.  FN started looking emotional, I saw tears in her eyes and she hurriedly said she should get going and rushed away.  I saw she was crying while she waited for the elevator.

Anyway, just wondering what others think about this.  Touching show of affection for former charge?  Or overly emotional nanny who needs to maintain some boundaries?  FYI we left on good terms, I told her she was welcome to visit DC time to time (one of her friends is a regular sitter of ours and she could visit when her friend is watching DC if she preferred that to visiting with us) and she declined, I got the impression that visiting DC would upset her because they no longer had the caregiving bond.
