[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2.5 year old charge is a true joy.  I have been her nanny since she was five-days-old.  She is adorable, loving and so bright.  She is the child in toddler classes who does everything the teacher does and always thanks her teachers.  She spontaneously walks up to any child who is crying and wants to help them.  She loves being read to and know all the alphabet now and the "sounds" each letter makes.  She was a very early talker and has an amazing imagination.  She potty trained herself at 21 months and is just an loving, wonderful little kid...

... and I know my relationship with her will end at some point and the thought breaks my heart.  I really got way too attached to this one.  This child and my very first charge are the loves of my life.  The other charges have been adorable and sweet - but none like my first charge and this charge.

Yes - I am sure I will stay in this charge's life after she stops needing me but the fact that she will stop needing me soon just hit me yesterday (she is so independent).  It hurts my heart to know I won't be with her every day at some point.

Toughest part of the job without question.  [/quote]
Many mothers have the same sentiment. The luckiest children get roots and wings... from those who love them.

OP is a true nanny... with a heart of gold.[/quote]
