[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better that your nanny have a cold relationship with you and a warm one with your child than the reverse. Instead of thinking about it in such bright-line terms (I'm bad at having a nanny) give yourself room to grow (I'm learning how to have a nanny). And absolutely forget about firing her. You have a good one. [/quote]

I agree. One thing I've noticed: Some of the best nannies are people who are great "children people" and "baby people" that are awkward around adults. Always remember you hired them to watch your kids, not you![/quote]

This is so odd. I was a great nanny, I sill work with kids all day and am excellent, but I am also capable of working/interacting with adults,. The two aren't mutually exclusive. [/quote]

It sounds like OP's kid is somewhere between 18 months and 2 yo? Toddlers take so much energy. I'm an introvert and sometimes if I give other people (friends, even my husband) too much of my "on" energy, I don't have much left for children. Maybe it's just too much for your nanny to be present and cheerful with your child and also deal with "her boss."[/quote]
