[quote=Anonymous]Some parents feel its the best way to raise children and as a nanny I will strive to support their decision. I am having a tuff time making the adjustment though, as this is my first experience with this type of parenting.

I was instructed that 
1. they do not use the word 'no' with their kids
2. the only way baby can sleep is if I hold him while he is sleeping or lay down with him and hold him. This means I have to lay in my employers bed bc they don't have a guest room which is a tad creepy.
3. if the baby cries, at all, pick him up
4. boundaries should be few and as limited as possible. They gave an example that f the little one picks up something dangerous, like a bottle of cleaner, let him hold it and check it out while explaining that it is dangerous rather than saying the item is off limits.

What words do you use that a one year old can understand if not 'no'? Any other nannies sleeping with their charge in this way? Should I just bring my own sheet and pillow to work? How to stay sane without letting them cry sometimes? How do you explain to a baby why a bottle of cleaner is dangerous? Will he truly understand what the boundaries are- safe to look at but not safe to drink or get on his hands?[/quote]
