I interpreted her as being the kind of crush a 7-8 year old boy might have on his 16-17 year old baby sitter. As in, she knew he was head over heels for her and kind of humored him. She genuinely cared for him and wouldn't have wanted to break his heart, but he was more or less a child upstairs. There was a sort of nobility to her character in how she felt the need to guard or protect Edward.
