[quote=Anonymous]It shouldn't be too hard on him, as he is getting to the age that he will be starting kindergarten soon anyways. If he will be starting kindergarten in the fall, I would get him into some activities on a weekly schedule to get him used to being away from the house and you as well. The nanny won't seem like she is replacing you, more like an additional helper that helps to get him places and until you can get home. If you make it seem like she is more there for the baby, then that might make him feel more comfortable with it since he is so old.

If he is past the cut off for school this fall, I might look into some PT preschool classes to help ease the transition. Change sometimes can be easier to deal with if you do 2 things at one. That way it is not just him leaving you at home to go to kindergarten, it is him leaving the nanny at home while you also go out, and then you both have things to talk to each other about in the evenings.
