[quote=Anonymous]I needed a 1-week only nanny for a bridge in childcare coming back to work. before DC can go into his daycare.

I spent the morning at the office and came to work at home in the afternoon and it just felt, wrong. Not mortal danger wrong but something about the way she holds DC, bounces DC kind of too aggressively when he's crying, says DC wants to be "diaper off" (I mean I don't care, but DC definitely is going to pee on you!)- DC has reflux (with meds) and can be really fussy when feeding, isn't the easiest napper, etc. So I know he's not an easy baby and all that.

I'm supposed to at least go in to work 1/2 days this week. I just don't want to leave. It makes me uncomfy. He seemed so out of sorts when I had him for an hour or so after. Kind of more docile, which for a normally loud kind of baby that freaks me out.

He didn't nap and she says "he doesn't want to"- which I get but its also one of those things where she doesn't seem to want to try to get him down either, he's not the kind you can just put down awake and expect to go to sleep- he's 3 months and just not a super easy 3 month old.

FTM. I know this is probably normal and I shouldn't do anything rash, but at the same time everyone says "listen to that voice"........what to do when the voice is bound to be paranoid.

I just want to tell work that I can come in 1 day (make DH take off) and check emails from home and stuff but not be full 8 hours the other 3 days. I think they actually would understand bc its that kind of place. And take care of him myself one more week.

But I feel bad about this whole thing since it was supposed to be a week. She was over an hour late (but called and said it was bad traffic) too, but that doesn't bother me as much.  I have cash to pay her for today of course.[/quote]
