[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is incredibly odd for a Nanny to get fired over having her charge love her so much.

If a child really loves their Nanny, then that is a clear sign (in my book anyway,) that a Nanny is doing her job well & that the Nanny is definitely worth her weight in pure gold.[/quote]

It depends on why the family is opting for a nanny vs other childcare.  Families who do well with a nanny value having another aecure attachment figure for their child that can remain consistent for several years and want to incorporate that person into their family unit.  The families who struggle with this usually chose a nanny for logistical reasons like an odd work schedule or lots of travel or for convenience (not having to schlepp to daycare, wanting to have help with laundry, have 3 kids and nanny was cheaper, etc.) For these families, they don’t really want or value the nanny/child relationship and they often struggle with not seeing the difference between nanny/child bond and parent/child bond, which makes then feel threatened.[/quote]
