[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question from nanny to parents:

I’ve been working for a good family the past 10 months, first time parents to a baby boy. Child would be 1 in November. Both parents WFH. Dad is very busy and I hardly ever see him and he’s not overly engaged to the child. Cut and dried dude, no problem with that.The mother, however… she’s  good but she doesn’t have a demanding job(says works Full-Time)as father and I find  extremely annoying the amount of ‘breaks’ she takes and she does it before the child is about to nap, either in the middle of lunchtime or end of lunchtime. When she does it, baby cries his lungs out and messes up the routine the baby is currently on with me. For example, I put the child in high chair , eats his lunch  and is overall happy. She comes down from office and literally she begins hugging the child, gets him out of high chair w/o cleaning his fingers and mouth (child hasn’t finished eating)and tells me oh he gets upset, needs a hug😡! How do you guys deal and approach  a WFH Mom? How do you set boundaries and let her know that she’s overly stimulating the child and therefore the child gets upset?mother is never on my grill but I find it very difficult to feed the child IF she’s around or whenever Grandma comes once a month(GM is nice and tries not to be too close to child and takes dog for a walk until I leave.)

I worked with WFH parents in the past and they almost never interfered with the schedule. 
Any thoughts? TIA.[/quote]

I think you’re overthinking this and you need to just communicate with her. You said it’s been 10 months. That’s a really long time to let this go on without saying anything, so she probably doesn’t think it’s a big deal and that’s why she keeps doing it.

“MB, I’ve noticed that when you engage with child during or after lunch, he gets distracted and it’s hard for me to get him back into his routine. Since he goes down for his nap at 12, could you please try to take your break at 12:15 so that I have time to get him settled? A better time for you to come say hi to him during the day would be x o’clock.”
