[quote=Anonymous]I am a working mom who frequently takes an hour or so break to do "mommy and me" classes with my toddler.  I do it for myself more than for my child.  She is just as happy to go with the nanny.  Young kids don't differentiate between mom and and a good, loving nanny in that context; whatever is presented as normal to them feels normal.

Significantly, I am usually the only mom in attendance among all the nannies and charges at "mommy and me" class.  The kids attending with a nanny do just as well as my kid, and they attach no significance to the fact that Susie comes with Mommy but they come with Nanny.  I suspect the same is true of the DC coop program, both in terms of the nanny to parent ratio (I bet there are at least as many nannies in attendance) and the effect on the kids.

Some of you nannies are just loonbags.  When it suits your purpose, you are the be-all, end-all of child-rearing.  When you feel like you're being asked to work a little harder than usual one day a week, suddenly the kids are being disadvantaged by your presence.
