Yes it is still creepy. There is a difference between missing your charges and becoming so attached that you are crying hysterically over not seeing them for a couple of days. It is creepy because THEY ARE NOT YOUR KIDS. They are not related to you. You really need to learn boundaries.

Hmm but did you get hysterical and cry over it? Professional nannies who know boundaries can miss their charges but do not get highly emotional when they have a short week with them. That is NOT normal and shows she needs to get a life of her own.

Rave for an awesome MB who gives me paid vacation and guarenteed hours!!!! She is super amazing and I am so increadably blesse to work along side an wonderful family!!


Damn. I like my NF kids as well but I do not get in tears because I get more time off. No offense but you sound a tad crazy (like Hand That Rocks The Cradle nuts). Remember while it is good to care for the kids these are NOT your children and you will be gone as soon as they outgrow you or the MB gets that psycho vibe from you. If I was your MB and I read this I would start looking for a nanny ASAP in case you try something.

Don't you think this is super creepy? Being a 24/7 baby nurse for over a year and being dead inside? I think this so sad for the child. They need to see love from all directions, especially the one they with the most.

I love my little guy, and I let him know!


How do you know she was "dead inside"? Some people just express emotions in different ways. I will be very sad when I have to leave my charges of 2 years (been with them since they were 6 weeks) at the end of the summer, but I am not the kind of person to cry in front of others. This does not mean I love them any less than you love your charges...I tell them I love them all the time too!
It would be nice if we could all stop being so instantly judgmental of people who do things differently than ourselves.

I don't think it's creepy at all. I miss my charges a lot to if I don't see them much over a week or 2 week time span. I don't think it's unhealthy to love a child and I don't think you can love a child to much. I'm fairly certain that when the nanny is great with the kids then the parents allow a relationship to remain once the children have no need for a nanny any longer. Children need to know they are loved and by more than just their parents. It certainly doesn't hurt them any. You all have just heard to many creepy stories.
