[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work from home 90% of the time while 20 month old DD is cared for by her nanny.  DD is starting daycare in 8 weeks.

Lately, DD has spent much of the day screaming for me.  It's distracting and makes my heart hurt.  I don't really know what's going on, because she's in the church nursery on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings and has a blast, so I don't think it's heavy-duty separation anxiety, although I could be wrong.

My questions are 
1) Is this an age thing?  Why is she suddenly screaming for me all day long?
2) How do I get our nanny to interact with her more, or at least take her somewhere that I can't hear her?  People can hear her when I'm on conference calls, and it's unprofessional, plus I obviously just hate hearing her cry for mama.  My nanny claims that because she's 9 weeks pregnant, she can't be outside in the heat or pick DD up, so there's "nothing she can do when DD screams at my door."

I'd just go to the office more, but I hate leaving DD here with a nanny who clearly isn't taking care of her.[/quote]

This is totally an age thing. PRIME separation anxiety.

Your nanny's excuse is pretty weak. Can you find a short term replacement for the next 8 weeks. You nanny needs to take her out first thing every day. She won't pick her up?? WTH?[/quote]

I was wondering about the age because I know it's the prime time for it, but she's fine in the church nursery.  She loves it, actually.

Yes, the nanny said she can't pick her up.  I was horrified at first, and felt bad for her, because I assumed something was wrong, but no, her OB just told her not to pick up heavy things in early pregnancy.   :roll: [/quote]
