[quote=Anonymous]This Maya Angelou quote hit me hard today.  I give way too much of myself as a nanny.

I worked so hard with my former charge and his family.  Above and beyond because I wanted the very best for my charge of three years (from his birth).  I believed all the sentimental cards and words of my former employers about being part of the family forever and loving me so much.  Two months ago I was suddenly fired when my charge started preschool full time and have been banned from seeing him ever again.  I was an option to them - nothing more.

I have a new job now that pays much more, has better hours, has excellent benefits far and above my old job and is within walking distance rather than my former two hour commute.  But I do miss my former charge and feel awful thinking about how he has no idea why someone who loved and cared for him suddenly disappeared.

I have ongoing relationships with all of my former charges except this last one and everyone is happy and adjusted.

I made my former charge and his parents a priority when all I ever was to them was a childcare option.
