[quote=Anonymous]I have been with the family for about 2 months. Its only part time about 15 hours a week. I am having a very hard time connecting with the kids. They cry when I arrive and the oldest one does not listen to me at all. He completely ignores what I am saying. it is very frustrating! The job pays well, and the parents are nice, but that doesnt seem to matter too much when I can't connect with the kids. There will be a few moments when it seems we are having a break thru but nothing! I find myself bored thru out the day as the kids are pretty independent and dont really want me to play with them. esp DS. DD only wants to be held. In public they are a bit more dependent on me but you can tell that the connection is missing. I am wondering if I am not challenged enough in this position as all my other jobs have been with children with extreme behavior/ autism / twins/ infants. Any advice? I need to connect with these kids ** especially DS*** Kids are DS 4 DD1 [/quote]
