[quote=Anonymous] :cry: 
My four YO son had a regular nanny come 4 days/week since he was six mos.

She unexpectedly had a family emergency overseas and left abruptly.
Today she notified us that she likely will be out indefinitely as she has family that needs her now and she thinks may need her there for quite a bit longer.

My son is very distraught.
She didn’t get an opportunity to say goodbye to him and I explained to him why (as good as I could explain what an emergency is.)
I have had a back up nanny watch him and think it is likely that she may be able to take over the days that I need care up until this summer.

Every. single. morning….my son asks for his old nanny. When I remind him that she is gone, he begins to cry. When the other nanny arrives he begins to throw a huge tantrum making mornings hectic/chaotic.
He and his other nanny had formed a strong bond I do admit.
How long will it take before he gets over this?
And at his age could this possibly have lasting emotional damage?
(Considering she was a constant and reliable present for 3.5 years.)[/quote]
