[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wtf pp, they employed a nanny for two years who are you to say they can't afford one?

Many agencies only want to work with nannies who have a college degree, which we don't know OP has.

Daycare is not institutionalization and if it's handled appropriately, there shouldn't be any tears after the first day or two. My charge went from being PT with grandma and PT with me into daycare at 2 without a hitch, and now at 3 she tells me all about her friends and teachers there.

Stop pretending like you all are the experts on this child's development, because you're not. Maybe the child's pediatrician advised it for some reason, that DOES happen. Maybe the parents recognized their nanny was getting a little too SWF with their child (who could blame them). Parents say it's to save money when it isn't anything YOU have done, they want you to know there is nothing you did wrong or could have done differently - it does not mean that's the real, or only, reason.[/quote]

OP here and I have a master's degree in Early Childhood Development.  According to my employers, no one advised that their child be put in daycare.  They are doing it to save for a house and go on vacation (MB's words were that she hasn't been on a vacation this year or bought new clothes as reasons to put her son in daycare).

It is my opinion that daycare is not right for my charge.  My educated opinion and knowledge gained from being his nanny.

And I don't know what "SWF with the child" means.

I will grant you that I love him too much.  I never should have gotten to attached to him,  But I am proud of the work I have done with him  and what a smart and polite little guy he is.

I am sorry if you feel I am overreacting.  This has come out of the blue and I am simply stunned.

And to the OP who suggested and agency:  yes, I am going to go through an agency this time.  My weekend position was through an agency and it is a great job and well-paying.  I will not make the same mistakes I made with this soon-to-be-former MB/DB.    [/quote]
