I usually do not respond like this, but this post is obviously made-up.

Next! ------->

Just like adults have room in their hearts to love more than one child, children have room in their hearts to love more than one adult. A baby can absolutely love their nanny AND still love their parents just as much.

Tomorrow morning, before you leave, first thing, you need to tell the nanny "I'm sorry about what I said yesterday. I think I was startled and threatened by the idea of DD loving you but I was wrong. I'm so glad you love DD, and of COURSE you can tell her that. I don't know what I was thinking yesterday, and I'm so sorry."

What bad outcome do you think will result, OP? I'm genuinely asking.

Our kids often accidentally calls me and my husband (!) our nanny's name. She kisses them on the forehead and says she loves them. They are comforted by her when sick as much as they are by us. She's like an Auntie. Makes me so happy they are with a "family member" all day. Your nanny has been caring for your child for his/her entire life. It would be worrying if she didn't love your kid.if you choose to work full time you can't expect a monopoly mommy affection I'm afraid.

Our nanny has been taking are of our baby from 2months-18months old. She has always been kissing her on the cheek but now has started telling her "I love you." We told her to stop and she started crying. I know she is only human and has emotions but at the same time she's not her mom.

How would you handle this situation?

I'd tell you to see a psychiatrist. Run, don't walk!

Children thrive when they are loved, and they have the ability to love people other than their parents.

Nannies choose to do their jobs because they love kids. They certainly don't do it for the wages most are paid.

OP, you need to ask yourself if you would rather have a nanny who ignored your child's need for affection and loving interaction, in favor of ignoring your child, or worse, neglecting her.

Then you need to apologize profusely to your Nanny and cross your fingers that she accepts your apology instead of finding a new job and leaving you without childcare.

Or, if you are trolling you need to go back under your bridge.

I agree with PP's nannies are in the business because they love children. Perhaps you need a drone that will just work and not show love to your child. What responses do you want? What you said to your nanny was harsh and there are many MB's that would be happy to get your nanny.

You are nuts. That's completely appropriate, why do you think it isn't?
In what scenario, do you want your childcare provider to not love your children?

You should stay home with you child and be her only caretaker because nannies and child care givers go into this business for only one reason, because they love children.

You definitely need to apologize and discuss your problem with your Nanny before she quits because asking her to not say, "I love you, " to a child is ridiculous and impossible.

Sounds like OP you are a new mom and feeling a bit threatened so I understand. Now just take a deep breath and know you have hired a loving nanny that will treat and love your baby like you do, this is a good thing.

I'm hoping this is a troll, but if not, why in the world would you not want your daughter to feel loved by her caregiver?

This has to be a troll. No one is this clueless.
