[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand what you’re saying, Op, but it’s a job. Your employers may value you because of your work ethics, the love their children have for you and how much you do in general but it’s a job that will end at some point; whether you decide to move on or you’re let go. It’s no different than any other occupation. I have worked for companies and have had great relationships with my bosses (because I was good at my job) but when I decided to move on, that’s it. They wish me the best and I never look back.

NP and a nanny here.  In all those other jobs there is not a child who loved you and depended on you and who had no idea your role was just a job.  For me, that is the tough part.  I feel so bad for my charges who saw me five days a week from birth and had no clue I would just not be there one morning.  I can always move on from my employers without looking back or giving a tiny rat’s ass.  But it is the sweet child I worry about.  And my own pain from missing the child.

In all those other jobs, I worked as a teacher in daycare. Where kids would arrive at 6:45am and leave at 6:00pm. Where they would run to me in the mornings with smiles and hugs. Where when they got sick, I would hold them until their parents arrived hours later to pick them up and try to bring them back the next day. Again, it’s a job and the longer you’re in this field, the better you will become at putting your “feelings” aside and fulfilling it and knowing while you cared for that child(ren) you did the best you could- and hope they will remember the times you spent with them forever! Maybe I misinterpreted the post but I thought it was leaning towards employers.

Nanny and NP. [/quote]
