[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please allow your child to have their own nanny for the first two years of life. This will forever be your child’s foundation. Healthy establishment of trust is essential. Investment is critical.

Professional nanny here who did several share arrangements. But never again. The “visiting” child is always the one who screams forever at nap time. It’s just not fair to the children to expect them to sleep in a very strange place. As caregiver of two unrelated children, it was impossible for me to comfort two children in two different rooms at the same time. It was horrible.[/quote]

How is the other baby’s home a “very strange location “ if they are there for 7-9 hours a day, 5 days a week?[/quote]
Then *you* should first get them acclimated to their new nap space.[/quote]

I mean, ok? Do most daycares let me come over to stay there for a weekend to do that? Will the nanny share host family let me come spend a weekend with them? You don’t seem to have a lot of faith in a baby’s ability to adjust. Maybe you had a really difficult baby and that is always hard. But the vast, vast majority of babies will acclimate to a new nanny (and/or a new nanny share house) within a week or two. [/quote]
