[quote=Anonymous]18:32 here.  Actually I had two fabulous nannies as a child.  One was a forty-something mother of teenagers. She had been formally trained as a nanny in London and had many years of experience.  The other was a thirty-something married woman with about 15 years experience as a public primary grade school teacher; I was in a share with her two kids.  Both nannies were exceptional and I remember them fondly.  In fact, they set the standard for what I want my kids' nanny to be.

But there is no way that these nannies were my primary caregivers.  I liked them a lot, but I loved my parents.  My parents are the people who had the wisdom to get me great nannies, despite the financial sacrifice.  They also worked hard to make sure I could participate in all the after school activities and camps I was interested in.  They planned my birthday parties and read my bedtime stories and made holidays and vacations and weekend family days magical.  There was never any question in my childhood mind about who was primary and who was being paid to fill in while my primary caregivers worked.  And by late elementary or middle school, I was done with nannies and never kept in touch, but my parents remained the primary source of love and stability and guidance in my life.

My parents, like most parents, were my primary caregivers.  Any nanny who thinks otherwise is delusional.[/quote]
