[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also get it OP.  Our first nanny was beloved, and is still a part of our lives and very close with our kids. But she relied on us for so much outside the parameters of the job (help when car broke down, taking her to urgent care when sick, helping her find a new apartment and then helping her move, helping her with taxes/insurance decisions, etc...)

We loved her like family and with that came a level of responsibility and concern far beyond typical employment. In fact, she still has that kind of pull on us (I spent an hour with her this weekend trying to help her w/ a current job search.)

Congrats on a wonderfully long and positive tenure - and enjoy the stress relief of no longer feeling responsible for her! (Though know that probably won't fully go away!) :-)[/quote]

100% this. This feeling doesn’t make you a cruel or heartless person, nanny/employer relationships are complicated!  Assuming you treat the nanny wel while she works for you, I Completely understand the feeling of not having to manage the non-kid related issues that pop up. Not to mention the annoying things like nanny taxes, worker’s compensation insurance, etc.
