Missing Nanny

Because of Covid, we have traveled at all and our nanny chose to use her vacation time in three and four day weekends rather than consecutive three weeks. Now we are taking our first vacation to see family and our 3.5 year old gets tears in his eyes when he talks about nanny not coming with us. Our two year old has never been away from nanny for more than four days in her entire life.
I know the kids will have fun and are always happy to be with DH and I on weekends but this is two weeks. Does FaceTime make it better or worse? Call? 3.5 yr old has already started talking about bringing nanny souvenirs! |

? OP, FaceTime does help when missing nanny or us but never do it before bed! The kids are too tender and tired. Try calling nanny with something fun or exciting during the day. Or in the car. |

| Don’t FaceTime your nanny on her days off. Tell your kids they’ll see her in a week. They’ll be fine. |

| In two years your kids won't even remember that nanny. Don't do facetime. Let her have vacation. |

| Are you sure it’s the 3 year old who will miss the nanny? |

I clicked on this thread because I thought the nanny had gone missing. This is much less exciting.
Help your kid write postcards to the nanny. It will be fine. |

| Op, you mean you haven’t had to take care of your children for this long. |

Huh? OP here and I work part time from home. DH works from home (no commute). Why do you think it’s a problem that my children love their nanny? Should their only attachment be with their parents? What a limited lonely world that would be for them. |
