[quote=Anonymous]I think you're being ridiculous, and I say that in the nicest way possible, truly. Having to close your eyes for a moment and take a deep breath is bad?? Yikes! Then I would be a REALLY bad nanny, most likely!! Everyone-including nannies-loses their cool at SOME point in their lives when working with kids. This sounds like you are not even getting to that level, you are using tools to prevent from that happening (closing eyes, breathing, etc), which is even better.

I understand what you mean about parents thinking nannies are perfect/capable of blocking any negative human emotions, but any normal mom or dad would never get mad or think about firing you if what you described is all they saw on a nannycam!! Especially if the child in question is acting as you say your DC does! I would NOT feel bad. Instead, I would talk with the parents (if you havent already) to see how they want you to handle her tantrums, in order to possibly have more peace of mind that you are handling everything just fine. From what it seems like, I am here to tell you--keep up the good work! Sounds like a VERY difficult position to be in, esp with the mom working from home (not that that's bad or hard for everyone), so kudos to you for sticking with it.[/quote]
