[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my suggestion is that you get a new nanny that has different boundaries.  There are nannies out there who view their employment as more of a job, not have such a strong personal attachment and will not take such offense to your wife's request not to say 'I love you.'  They can still be great nannies and care for your child, but will not love' your child the way the current nanny does.[/quote]

This. But also it is important that the nanny does show affection to the child. It can just be in a different way. I have no problem with "I love you" I do have a problem with kissing given germs and my kiddos health condition. But hugs and sweet words and pats on the back etc are all wonderful from caregivers. The child needs to feel safe and comfortable with the caregiver and for that she needs to be able
To show affection in some way. Figure out what your wife will be ok with and bring that up when you're interviewing. You'll find a nanny that fits. [/quote]
