[quote=Anonymous]We had a nanny for about 7  years.  She started as my oldest boys night nanny basically right after birh.  She’s helped me raise my 3 kiddos and I appreciate it but she hasn’t been employed by us in 6 months and I still hear from her 2-3 times a week.  We moved about six months ago and we had to let her go.  We have her 3 months severance pay and she fairly quickly found another position she seems to enjoy.  Yet she still texts me several times a week and asks how the kids are doing.  She’s driven up 3 times to visit my children, which I’m grateful for but I find her inability to let go off and concerning.  I truly believe to an extent she thinks they’re her child.  She has two adult children and I know she wanted a third but had to have a hysterectomy due to cancer and couldn’t have a third.  I really sympathize with her but I want to make it clear to her we need to have boundaries.  She is no longer involved in my children’s life as our employee so texting me non-stop can’t happen.  Help me find a kind but firm way to verbalize this to our ex-nanny. [/quote]
