I think I can kind of explain why Louise, the perfect nanny, does what she does. She becomes involved completely in the lives of the parents Myriam and Paul, and the children Mila and Adam. So much so, that when the family is away at the in-laws, Louise stays at their house, eats their food and cleans up their messes. As the children grow a little older, Louise realizes that they will go to school and she will not be needed as much, if at all. Refusing to change her focus, she believes she can "encourage" the couple to have another child, but when she realizes the family will not be having any other children, she falls out of love with the family.

I do question if the reader is supposed to sympathize with Louise in anyway? She has many chances to explain her financial situation to Myriam and Paul, yet never comes clean. We witness how others see her, but know they're missing the real picture of The Perfect Nanny.
