Because the nurse was Juliet's wet nurse. In those days, rich families hired wet nurses, women who had just had a child and most likely lost it, to breast feed and nanny their child. The nurse had just lost her child and she felt Juliet was the child she never had. she also nursed Tybalt

The nurse also spent so much time with Juliet, that she knew everything about her so she was able to be more of a mother than lady Capulet,

What kind of relationship does the nurse have with Juliet?

This is from the point of view of having played the role of Juliet. Juliet loves her mother in a dutiful daughter way, but they do not have a warm, close relationship. She respects her mother, and wants to live up to her mother's expectations, but finds she must rebel in order to keep the sanctity of her (secret) marriage to Romeo. Juliet's relationship with the nurse is much warmer. It is the nurse who breastfed Juliet (probably until she was three or so); it is the nurse who cares for Juliet when she is sick, who sits on her bed and holds her hand when Juliet is afraid, who helps her get dressed for parties, who listens to all her girlish chatter. The nurse is much more of what we, nowadays, would think of as a mother. However, the nurse is also foolish and fickle, and these characteristics cause Juliet to eventually turn from her nurse, and realize that she is truly alone in the world.
