[quote=Anonymous]4 is a tough age for a lot of people, especially when you've only just met the child. Maybe she's used to being with children from the time they're small and doesn't have the experience to know how to facilitate bonding at this point? That's not to say she can't do it, but you may have to be a manager here and not just an employer. Please provide her with some books, or a weekend course, or just sit down and have a very frank review before you make another change ("Your 4-Year-Old" and that series in general is make quick and easy read with a lot of insights into the developmental stage of a 4yo) in nanny. It's probable you'd have this problem with most nannies (I see a lot of nannies with a baby and 4yo and they are, generally speaking, completely incapable of dealing with preschoolers - to be fair, we don't do that as much as we do younger kids) so even if talking to her doesn't change things and you need to replace her, at least you'll have practiced this management technique and will be able to go into your next search armed with new questions and skill sets to look for.[/quote]
