[quote=Anonymous]Here's my perspective: the nanny is training your DD to expect/need constant interaction and feedback and praise. She is training DD that anything "hard" (like cleaning up her toys) is the grown-up's job. I think that is a big problem. Should a caregiver be attentive? Absolutely. But self-confidence comes from acheiving hard things. Your daughter will build confidence and skill as she learns to manage the world on her own. Dressing, feeding, picking up toys, problem-solving in play, etc. WITHOUT someone jumping in to fix it. It sounds to me like your nanny is ill-suited to one-on-one care. Maybe she would be willing to do a share with another child, which would give her more tasks to cope with and force her to back off and let your DD breath a little. Otherwise, I would look for someone with experience nannying an only.[/quote]
