[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]" I attended a wedding a few years ago. The nanny who stayed with the family for years stood next to the two parents (by then long divorced) for the marriage of the girl they had all raised. "

^ this.

My nanny is at times a better parent than me or my husband. Especially with discipline. I am secure enough to not only admit this but value it. I first looked at hiring a nanny as I would my work place. Find someone better than me to do the things I couldn't. That model has made my business thrive and you know what its also made my home thrive.

It takes a village to raise a child is the motto my grandparents and parents had. And my village is my immediate family and our nanny who has become family. Not by blood but by tears shed for my child's first heart break, by the joy of my sons first steps, by the dedication to the adults my children will become.

We love our nanny just as much if not more than she loves our kids. And WE would grieve when that day comes to say goodbye. She is someone we would want to stand by us at our kids weddings, honored at bar mitzvahs, and remembered through photos and stories.

By the way- the quote is from a remarkable article
