[quote=Anonymous]I worked for the same family for 5 years and I very much felt like a member of the family. My boss worked from home so we had a closer relationship than I think nannies have with their employer when the employer works out of the home. We had some hiccups through the years but always worked things out in a fair, respectful manner. I think another reason why we became so bonded was that one of the kids was diagnosed with a serious illness and the mom and I were the ones who were in the thick of it getting through it together. We had a good relationship prior to that, but the experience of caring for a sick child bonded us in a way that isn't typical for most nannies/employers.

I remain close with them but have not been their nanny for about 3 years now. We see each other regularly both with and without the kids. They recently asked if they could name me as legal guardian in the event that something should happen to both of them. So while I don't necessarily think it's the typical experience, it's also not unheard of to become family to one another. [/quote]
