[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I go by my first name but my favorite is when the kids give me a nickname based on their best approximation of my name. I think going by Ms. Lastname would be incredibly formal and I can’t imagine doing it. I AM southern so the “Miss Firstname” things sounds normal to me, but it also feels kind of distant. I am hardly a “big sister” type as someone above implied, but I tend to nanny primarily for infants and toddlers so it is a deeply intimate relationship. It feels overly self-important to choose some kind of arbitrary invented honorific. There really isn’t a parallel relationship to the kind of nannying I do (typically with the kids from birth or early infancy through preschool or kindergarten). So I am just myself. My name is it’s own badge of honor on the tongues of my beloved charges.[/quote]
