[quote=Anonymous]I'm a part-time, WAHM of a 2.5-year-old. I finally hired a nanny for the mornings I work; she started last week.

Our new nanny so far doesn't seem super creative with regard to finding fun things to do. Books, living room, playroom, take a ball out into the yard...rinse, repeat. When she arrives in the morning or when I'm occasionally walking through the house, I'll make mild suggestions such as, "oh, we have a closet full of art supplies - feel free to dig through...", "he loves to spray the hose around the garden! it's a good day for it -- you could even fill the pool or turn on the sprinkler". Etc. But she doesn't really seem too excited or interested, and doesn't really take the bait.

Any suggestions? I don't want to micromanage and I expect there to be an adjustment period, but I know my son and he is getting bored and frustrated. On top of that, he's not getting out all the energy he needs to burn.

I'd love to hear thoughts and ideas from nannies and parents. Thanks so much![/quote]
