[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps she is a little nervous driving around w/an infant in her car. It could be a little more nerve-wrecking for her.

Is there any way you can directly address this issue w/her OP?

I think at 2 yrs. of age, your child will get bored of the same park and will want to venture out and explore his horizons.

Are you willing to provide a 2nd car seat for the baby? Is her car big enough to seat 2 car seats?

I provide her with our car that has car seats in it.  I've never seen her put together a craft and the times that I've encouraged coloring or finger painting (with the Crayola finger paint that only appears on the special paper), she seems less than enthused.  I've asked her if she feels comfortable driving with both of them and she very hesitantly said that she could try.  I said I would go with her a few times and she still seemed very quiet.  I have tried to get to the bottom of what's going on -- is this burn out, is she overwhelmed, is she just not wanting to be a nanny to two kids so close in age and so little.  But I can't seem to get a straight answer.  I am willing to do a little bit of encouragement like provide supplies and a few ideas, but if I'm going to be directing everything that seems like ....well it seems like that's why I hired her.  So I'll get some ideas and some materials and then I'll make a list of activities and I'll go with her a couple of times and see if it improves.  But yes I'd have preferred she be a self starter.  And my older child will start preschool two days a week in the fall.  so maybe I just need to get through this summer and things will improve.[/quote]
