[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh - it doesn't make you a bad person but if you were my nanny and you couldn't reflexively say (to yourself and or an anonymous board) "YES! I love them. They charm the bejeezus out of me!" I don't think I'd want you as my kids' nanny.[/quote]

Seriously?  They do "charm the bejeezus out of me".  I think they're hilarious and intelligent kids.  When they go on vacation, I miss them.  If I had to give my life for theirs, I absolutely would.  There is a BOND there.  It is not my definition of love.  But there is an undeniable bond there.  Is that not enough?[/quote]

I dont' know.  Maybe it is.  You'd give your life for theirs?  That's HUGE and I don't know that anything gets bigger than that, really.  I guess I've just been pretty spoiled.  All of my au pairs have been head-over-heals in love with my kids and it's not a show for me.  I work from home and just hear how they are together when I'm tucked away in my office.

But that's maybe more to expect from a nanny than an au pair.  For nannies it is undeniably a "job" whereas it can be just a special slice of life for an au pair.  [/quote]
