[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go spend some time working in the child services world.  You will be astonished at the dominance of parents in a child's life.  No matter how awful the abuse a child wants a parent.

Which is not at all what's being discussed here, or in 99% of nannying circumstances, but decent parents trump the worlds best nanny in a childs' view.  Maybe not in the middle of a three year old tantrum - sure, but when a child wants comfort and permanence they look to a parent.

Sorry.  Have your own kids if that's what you're looking for.  If you're a sane, loving caregiver then I will welcome you into my family and be thrilled you love my child.  But you are still being paid to do a job.  Period.[/quote] thanks!

You actually can't buy real love. If your child has a nanny who loves him/her, count your blessings and treat her like gold.

That's what smart parents do.

Of course.  I wouldn't hire someone who I didn't think would grow to love my child.  But I don't expect anyone to do it for free and I don't expect (or want) a nanny to feel the same way about my kids as she would about her own.[/quote][/quote]
