[quote=Anonymous]Hi,
I wanted to see what other people's expectations were with their nanny and two year old... Does your nanny go out of their way to find friends from your child? Can your 2 yo have a play date while the nanny is there? What about arts and crafts projects?
My daughter is very independent and finds things to play with all of the time, but I have things I want my nanny to work on with her - sharing, not always getting what she wants (not that she gets this because she is spoiled per se, just that there's no one else around!). I also want them to start to do craft things but my nanny doesn't initiate that.

I believe they play together, but I don't know how much is really playing with her versus talking to my daughter as she plays.
I know it's also hard because I have an 8 month old too (who sleeps for at least an hour in the morning when my daughter does not sleep).  My daughter is totally content just playing with someone around, but i want to have a little more focus and structure on her too (a lot of play and a little educational session maybe - learn to do the arts and crafts, for example).

Anyway I wanted some feedback on setting my expectations... Am i looking for too much? 
I sort of feel like my nanny is getting tired of things as I know she's a great nanny and I value her a lot.. but I need to balance those thoughts with knowing things can change.

Thank you for your help! [/quote]
