[quote=Anonymous]As a former nanny during my college years and now a working Mom, I can say YES. It is absolutely normal. I find that when my in laws visit, DD wants nothing to do with them if I'm in the room and becomes super whiny when they try to engage her. Once I'm gone, she is very well behaved. You are a good mom and it's no reflection on you. She's more likely to be well behaved with the nanny since the nanny can't be manipulated by pulling on heartstrings. It's common and nothing to be worried about. My guess is your DD also cried with the nanny when first changed and put down for a nap. The nanny likely did not respond which is why your child doesn't do it anymore. It's easier to get a reaction out of you and she knows the nanny will not come back at naptime if she cries but you will. I say this because I experienced the same thing with DD#1. [/quote]
