[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My heart goes out to so many, many children who feel abandoned this way. Hugs to OP. At least she's sensitive to the reality of having revolving door nannies.

Most parents and nannies refuse to even consider the long-range repercussions of these early childhood experiences, just when the establishment of bonds with primary caregivers is so critical to healthy development.

And we wonder why our kids are having so many problems down the road. Strong foundations make a difference. Denial does nothing to change the sad truth.

A part-time nanny is NOT a primary caregiver.  That's not to say OPs children won't miss the nanny but if they have good loving parents they most certainly will not feel abandoned.  My children like their part-time nanny and are very happy with her but when she isn't around (like for vacation) they don't ever mention her.  They'd much rather be with me because despite their "bond" with the nanny they are with me much more than with her.  It's not denial, it's the truth.
