[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny was off for an extended period of time due to Covid and just came back last Thursday. We hired her when our now 16 month old was only 4 months, but we haven’t seen her since early April. So, she only worked with us for roughly 6 months and then was off for almost 6 months.

Previously, she seemed great with the baby who was very happy when with her from what I could tell when I worked from home on occasion, and the baby adjusted and took to her pretty much immediately.

It’s only day 3, but since she has been back my DD has been really unhappy pretty much all day, hysterically crying on and off and getting really worked up. Our nanny is super sweet and nurturing so I don’t know what the issue is. I can hear her trying to console DD from the other room (I am still WFH but hide in my room all day) but she is just so upset. I have not intervened because I don’t think it will help the situation but am trying to help the nanny behind the scenes.

I should add that we had a college aged sitter come for 4-5 hours per day throughout the summer and DD was fine with her, so this seems kind of odd. So it’s not like DD has only been with me and is adjusting back to someone else.

How long should we give it before thinking this is more than just an adjustment issue? Any advice?[/quote]
