[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a job.  The job ended.  If you worked at the Gap for two years and then left to work at Ann Taylor, Gap would be a job reference but you wouldn't go back to visit at the Gap.[/quote]

No where even close to being comparable.  The Gap job doesn’t involve innocent young children who depended on the OP and were encouraged to bond with and love her.   Relationships with children involve more than just a job. [/quote]

Loving and bonding is for parents and families, not paid caregivers.  They are not her kids.  The kids will not remember her in a few years.  It not going to be dramatic or a big deal if they have involved parents.  She's the one having the issue.[/quote]

Again, from a child psychological standpoint, I completely disagree.  Of course the bond between parent and child is fundamental but it doesn’t preclude your child bonding and loving a nanny.  If the child is under five, she won’t actively remember hr nanny but she will carry an inherent memory of being suddenly abandoned by the person who cared for and protected her - the person her parents trusted to care for her when they were away.  It’s a powerful loss to a child.  
I don’t know if OP had that kind of a bond with her charges since she was part-time but a full time nanny who has cared for a child since birth to two or three is a powerful bond that should be respected and handled very carefully.  [/quote]
