[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would consider a new childcare arrangement.

This could be a wonderful loving nanny, however he just may not have good chemistry with her. It wouldn't be anyone's fault, it may all just be a weak match.[/quote]

He is 15 months old. This has nothing to do with chemistry and everything to do with normal child development. As OP said, he is fine for the entire day, the only issues are at drop-off and pick-up. OP is the "problem" (I say this lightly because there isn't really a problem here, just some behaviors that need re-working) here, not her child and not the nanny.

Sounds like you're the one who doesn't know what you're talking about!  Sometimes kids don't like someone just because.  And if the child cries at drop-off, pick-up, it's not necessarily the parents' fault!  I've witnessed this with my toddler daughter.  She has a few different babysitters and her regular one she has known the longest and they clearly love each other, but... my daughter always cries and clamors for us as soon as we walk in the room.  With her other two sitters, she is perfectly content to stay with them in the same situation, even though they don't have the same bond with her.  The only thing I can think of is that her regular sitter is about 60 y.o. vs. the two other sitters are in their 20s and kids tend to like young people better.  It's not our, the parents' fault, that our daughter cries, nor anyone else's.  It just is.[/quote]
