Replying to Rosa M. on My Nanny’s Attachment to Her Own Children Is Reproducing the Nuclear Family
I also work as a nanny. Staying until eight means paying someone else to collect my daughter and feed her. The family I work for calls me part of the family, but the woman who looks after my daughter expects to be paid every evening.
This is why the transformation has to happen across households. Adding another transaction at each point in the care network leaves its underlying logic intact. I hope you can have that conversation with her.
