Can’t say I know all the details but I do know a job is a job. Which means you follow your boss’s instructions. If avoiding a “motherly nurturing relationship” is the wish of the Mom who’s most probably paying a generous salary?……So be it.
I’m in the Domestic/Household Staffing Biz for 30+ years. I’ve seen it all.
From what has become apparent, a Nanny working for Mariah Carey must always be sure to constantly remind her/his charges: “Mommy Loves You and will be home very soon.” “I am not your Mommy I work for your family and my job is to take care of you.” “Your Mommy works very hard and is a great Mommy who loves you!”..
I believe a professional, smart, talented Nanny can do their job and (AT THE SAME TIME) take steps to avoid the “little ones” they care for, from beginning to reach for them or look at them as their Mommy.
Again, if this is what the Boss wants…then it’s just like any other work place. As long as your being treated fairly, you be sure you understand your Boss’s wishes and perform to your Boss’s expectations.

I didn't see the big interview. I will have to look it up. And I haven't worked for super high profile families. But I feel like if I can't do what the family asks me to do, than I shouldn't take the job. This strange idea has crept into society it's "not fair" to ask workers to do something that might violate the workers personal ideals.
