[quote=Anonymous]I prepped a booklet with tons of info (like where backup diapers are, some typical meals, instructions for appliances, emergency contacts, etc.) Then do one day together where you are in charge and the nanny is just shadowing you. Don’t try to force the kids to go with the nanny or to bond yet. Just demonstrate that she is someone you like and trust. You be the caregiver and let the kids see that you have positive vibes towards her. Then let her figure it out without any parents around. I try to suggest some fun activities for the first few weeks that they don’t usually get to do with me (messy art project, visit to a playground that’s farther than I usually bother to drive, admission to a cool indoor play space) to give them a chance to form some fun memories. Schedule a check in after a week, then again every month for the next few months.[/quote]
