The Nanny

 The Nanny.

Nanny is the word used for helper / caretaker for small kids at home.
As most women now leave home for professional work and have  kids who are dependent age ,caretakers or The Nanny plays a crucial role.

If The Nanny is good  ,meaning the small kid bonds well with her,the professional lady is able to concentrate on her work outside at peace.
Then what is the worry for The Mother if her child bonds well with " The Other Woman" ,The Nanny"?????
The new Mother is at guilt of leaving her child with someone else's care and feels selfish for pursuing her career.
The guilt drives her to feel insecure when her own child becomes very and at times more comfortable with The Other Woman who has  now entered in their life.
When her own child no longer gets upset in her absence....doesn't show Separation Anxiety when seeing Mother leave for work....
But when the child shows that Separation Anxiety towards The Other  Woman,
The Mother gets upset and angry.

What actually matters????
In this scenario, the child and his/ her comfort is priority over any Mother or the other Woman 's feelings.

If The Mother has to be at peace while leaving her loved treasure, Her Child, in some other Woman 's care,the comfort and bonding of child and Nanny needs to be strong.

The Nanny who succeeds in forming a loving bond with the little one remains ever cherished forever when the child grows up independent of any caretaker.

This passing temporary phase of Motherhood is poignant but challenging.

I have had many Nannies who have managed to be The Other Woman and have formed good bonding with my two children when young.
Without The Nanny,I would never have managed home ,children and a busy private freelance Anaesthesia practice.
Grateful to The Nanny forever.
