[quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB / WAHM and DC is 16 months old.  Now that he is really mobile, it is getting increasingly difficult for nanny and I both to do our jobs.  Nanny takes DC out for most of the day, but she needs to be home sometimes to do baby-related household tasks.  Back before DC was really mobile, he would stay put (more or less) wherever nanny was so she could both do the baby-housework and keep an eye on him.  But now, DC will keep running away from her to my home office and he is tall enough he can reach the door handle and open it.  Because DC keeps coming to my office and fussing and crying when he is not with me, I have been having to spend a lot of time with him when I should be working.  If I don't, then Nanny will have to keep running to grab him (as he runs away) and dealing with his crying, which makes it hard for her to do her work.  There has got to be a better way?!?  We live in a small single-story home and the home office is in the middle.  If we gate it off, then we are cutting off the living room/kitchen from the bathrooms and the nursery.  I guess we could do this and Nanny will just have to open the gate every time she needs to access one of the other rooms?  Should I also tell Nanny that whenever she is in the nursery or laundry taking care of stuff, she should keep DC with her and the door shut and locked?  Any other suggestions?  [/quote]
