Another quick question--can a baby that young ACTUALLY not like you? I find that to be ridiculous. I feel bad because I do not want to think that. The baby is usually happy and then before naps cries hysterically. For example, i cant really soothe the baby without walking out and letting himself cry it out. whenever i go in and try to calm him down, he just screams and his mom comes right up. I guess I want to do a good job and have the baby adjust to me, but I guess it will just take a really long time.
Thank you for your response. In the mean time, I do some dishes or put toys away. Other then that, I am rethinking if this is the part-time job I should keep. I like autonomy and doing my own thing without the constant thinking if I am not doing something wrong. It gets overwhelming with a baby screaming, knowing the mom is hearing and coming straight up to intervene.
I am currently nannying part-time with a WAHM. I am watching a four-month-old who is gradually warming up to me; this is my third week of working. The mother works from home, but constantly comes up to breastfeed the baby and soothe him when he is crying. I feel that all my abilities and authority as a nanny is pushed to the side. I am only here a few hours of the day, but I feel the baby is not warming up to me because his mother is constantly coming up and checking on him. I am a very nice person and try my best to interact with the baby and get him to know me. I want to feel as if I am doing a good job, I just feel that I really sit and do absolutely nothing 
I feel very annoyed, but I am not sure if I am overheating--any thoughts?
