[quote=Anonymous]I'm babysitting a 13 month old with severe separation anxiety. His mom works PT and was only been cared for by his mom, dad, and grandma. His mom has been home FT for 4 months. He's had one other sitter but he was asleep before she showed. He woke up and screamed over an hour until the parents came home. I offered to babysit because she needed someone asap. He hasn't stopped screaming since the dad left. He is refusing bottles, won't play, but won't let me put him down either. He also has a mild cold and is teething.

I'm very experienced with infants and toddler and have never dealt with such extreme. He literally cried for two hours straight. I've been here since 6am and the mom is telling me " he doesn't do that with me..are you sure you're doing that right?". Obviously he is used to her and not going to do it. They asked me to help out all week ( MB is out of town) and I'm asking how to help him cope? Distraction and affection and hasn't worked. My boyfriend told me to tell them I am can't help, but I feel bad. It's not his fault and I don't want to leave them in a lurch. Help![/quote]
