Research Study
Growing Up with a Nanny or Housekeeper
A research study that will uncover the experiences of now-adult children who grew up in homes that regularly employed nannies or housekeepers. By sharing your experience, therapists will be able to learn what is needed to deliver the highest level of care to people within or from these complex family systems.
