[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]As a nanny, I have never told a child I LOVED them.

Nannies must respect certain boundaries and remain professional.

Not necessarily aloof, but professional.

It is a JOB. Many forget this.

I think your Mom Boss is within her rights. It has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy and everything to do with your lack of professionalism.[/quote]

I am not sure that being a professional nanny means refusing to tell your charges you love them. That sounds horrid, cold, and insensitive, frankly.

You can have boundaries, you can maintain your privacy, respect your employers, whatever, and still be human enough to accept that a child you are with 50 or so hours a week is a child with whom you will develop a bond. I tell my charges (current and former!) that I love them, because it's true. I wouldn't be able to be a nanny for a family that didn't allow me to tell the kids I loved them.

OP, I hope you can work through this and that your MB gets to a place where she accepts that a child being loved by many people is a good thing.[/quote]
