[quote=Anonymous]You are encouraging this behavior, OP.  If you want nanny to be able to successfully accomplish whatever tasks are on her list for the day, then you either need to give her longer hours so that you can play with your son while she works, or you need to teach your kid what the boundaries are.  If he comes to your door, it should be locked.  He will have a week or so of epic tantrums outside your door, but IF YOU ARE CONSISTENT, he will quickly realize that his choice is to be in the same room as his caring nanny, playing with toys while she works, or to be alone.  He will not choose alone.  Nanny will spend a week dealing with tantrums and redirecting but then they will be in a new routine.

I am not saying that you can't see your kid at all during the day, but you need to be consistent now because he is a toddler and they need to know what is allowed and what is coming next.  So set up a time each day to come out and eat lunch or read a story or play with him, then stick to that routine and stay in your office the rest of the time.  If you aren't willing to do that then you need a new solution for childcare.[/quote]
