How do I move on from losing the family I used to nanny for and was very close w!
Question: I just finished up my nannying job for a toddler. She was 1-&-a-half when I began nannying & 2-&-a-half when I finished. She became too attached to me & started wanting me more than her own parents, which is why my job ended. They decided as a couple to spend more time with her & get to know her better.
I miss her very much, as she had become almost like MY child. At least for right now (& I assume it'll probably always be the case), the parents don't want us seeing eachother because she may become confused about who her real mother is again. It's very hard for me to suddenly not have her in my life. I was very attached to her, & obviously vice-versa. I miss her more than anything & it kills me that I don't get to see her anymore (though I understand the rationality behind their decision).
I miss all three of them very much. Her parents had taken me in almost as family and I love them very much as well. I feel like I lost a whole second family. How do I move on from this loss?

Perhaps you need more people that you are very close to in your own life so when you are a nanny, you will already have your own people that love you.
You could start another nanny position but as you know, you have to realize what can happen.
What is nice is that you know you have the capacity to LOVE.
Protect yourself from being hurt in this way again.
I hope you find love that you will not have to let go of.
Good Luck.
