The present dissertation is aimed towards examining whether the nanny-child relationship has an impact on the psychological well-being of cared child. In the first study, we have examined relationships among the coparenting dynamics between mothers and nannies, their sensitivities towards the child, and child well-being, through home-visit observation of the mother-nanny-child play interaction. In the second study, through administering an online survey in Turkey and UK, we have sought to explore mothers’ and fathers’ perceptions on families’ nanny care processes, nanny-family relationships and child well-being, and to understand the associations between nanny-child relationship, child well-being, and relationships in the family. The results pointed out at a positive direct relationship between nanny-child relationship and child well-being, and a relatively weak indirect influence of parent-nanny, parent-child, and interparental relationships on this association. This dissertation is important as a first quantitative step in understanding nannies, nanny-child relationship and their impact on child well-being.
