[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though I spend the majority of time with your child, I know when to step back and let you be mom. I respect your rules and your moods. I know how hard it is for you to leave your child with me everyday so you can work so I endeavor to make you feel at ease when your child is with me and in charge when your child is with you. I don't give advice, I make suggestions. I don't refer to your child as mine. They are not mine, they are yours. I'm there when you need me and away when you don't. I know when you want to talk and act like you're my friend and when you want to be left alone and act like I'm the help. I'm not your mom or your sister. I'm your employee. But I'm there if you need me. For anything.[/quote]

Mothers who love their children stay home with them.[/quote]

Another conversation entirely but correct! Why have kids only to hand them over every morning to another woman to raise so that you can get to work for the entire day only to return for dinner bath and bed? Mom or dad should be home during the young years of a child's life until they can start school. But society dictates couple pop them out to fit in or that both parents must work to maintain a certain lifestyle. If you can afford a full time nanny or full time private school or daycare, you can afford to stay home and pay yourself the salary.[/quote]

I will never understand why nannies bite the hand that feeds them by saying things such as the above.
Also, not true.  What's the difference between doctor parents with kids, that spend all weekends and nights as a family, but have a nanny, and a family that needs two incomes and sends the kids to daycare? 
I had a child and worked. I had to. Almost everyone has to. Does that mean I didn't love her enough? Are you kidding? My daughter and I have an amazing relationship,  and she turned out wonderful.  She knows her parents adored her. 
By your standard,  all women except the rich do not love their children. Women who are poor. Women who work. Women who use the help of others to raise their children. 
I'm a mother and a nanny. Your labeling of working mothers as unloving is wrong and unkind. [/quote]

You're taking an unnecessary offense. The post above clearly stated either parent. Mom or dad. This post was not about women.  The he focus was on the child and an actual parent being their primary provider during their formative years versus daycare or a nanny. Get off of that uncalled for  feminist soapbox.[/quote]

The parent is the primary provider. The nanny is not . What is the difference between a family who can have a parent stay home and those that work? If the child is loved, zero. Get off your working parents are bad parents soapbox. I hope you are not a nanny. [/quote]
