[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Nanny from 22:38 here.

OP you are way way out of line. You're attitude is atrocious. When is it up to you to dictate what daycare you feel is best for him? You have no right because you did not give birth to this child. You are only a nanny. The only people who make those decisions are his parents. Im surprised you shave a degree in ECD with your attitude. Children are highly resilient creatures. He will adapt. They have done nothing wrong.

I think you need to take a hard look at yourself. I'm beginning to wonder if your employers witnessed this behavior and decided to terminate your employment because of it. For a woman in here 30-40's acting like a teenager shows that you need some therapy ASAP. You will be the one making this hard on your change by your unprofessional and inexcusable behavior.

Frankly, I do not think you belong in the nanny field at all. You are way too immature, unrealistic, and unprofessional. Young children need a nanny who will be a positive role model. You sound very clingy and emotional dependent on your job. Please seek therapy asap.  
I would have never let you come back if I were your bosses. The lack of ownership and taking responsibility shows you are too incapable for this job.

Calm down, PP.  Give the poor OP a chance to digest the news!  She just found out a few hours ago!!!!

You people are heartless.

MB here and I am very sorry, OP.  Know that the good you did your charge will be a part of him forever.  I wish you better luck in the future.  [/quote]
