t regularly comes to my attention just how nuanced and complex the relationship is between nanny and parent. And that makes a lot of sense. After all, these are the people who are coming into your home and sharing an intimacy with your family unlike anyone else. Many parents feel wholly unprepared for the process of selecting and employing a nanny and often admit that there are big areas of the relationship that they would like to work on, but feel that it is too delicate to upset, so a lot gets let go.
Enter Dr. Lindsay Heller of Beverly Hills, CA, who also goes by “The Nanny Doctor”. She has been working with families and their nannies for more than a decade. Here is a little bit more of what she shared about her work:
In addition to being a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Heller was a well-respected nanny for over 10 years in both the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas.
