[quote=Anonymous]I've been a nanny for six years now and have always worked full-time for one family at a time (always infants). I recently started working several part-time jobs (a few hours here and there for stay-at-home-moms that need to run errands, go to appointments, etc.). One of the families has a 7 month-old and he has serious stranger anxiety. He's never had anyone else watch him besides Mom and Dad before, and he cried throughout my entire first day (normally a super happy baby)! I felt horrible - I've had infants for six years, but I have always started with them at a younger age, plus I was there every day. I'm worried that by only seeing him for three hours each week he's not going to warm up to me. Any advice from parents or nannies who have been in similar situations? He's such a sweet little guy, the parents are great, and I've never had trouble with any of my kids, but every time he looks at me and realizes I'm not his mom he totally breaks down and it's killing me! Thanks in advance for any advice.[/quote]
