Attachment Theory, a theory initially developed by psychologist John Bowlby, states that the earliest bonds formed by children with their caregivers have a tremendous impact that continues throughout life. The relationship your child has with their nanny is a very important one, one that has potential to provide them with a sense of safety and security. Next to you, your nanny maintains your child's emotional and physical safety on a daily basis. Because the role of the nanny is such an important one, it is important to nurture this relationship and maintain it in as healthy a manner as possible. This process begins before you even hire your nanny and carries all the way through to the departure of your nanny.
