[quote=Anonymous]Hi Nannies,
I never had to take care of very stubborn children before, and am not sure how to go about it. They have 4 kids, and it's me and a second nanny.
I'm working in the afternoon only, and the other nanny is there full time all day long.
One of the daughters sometimes likes to play nicely, but then just starts screaming at us and doesn't want us to do anything with her.
The other daughter is pretty good, until it's time for bath and bed time, and she just refuses to do anything and screams. I try to be funny, do even give her her iPad (like the mom suggested), I try to play her favorite games, I leave her alone, and nothing works. I feel like a loser lol never had this problem before. On top of that the grandparents and parents are pretty much always around. They have 4 kids in total. The girls are under 5. I heard that all nannies come and go and nobody can handle them, even the other nanny just told me she used to cry the first week... I wish I knew that before I started, as I canceled 2 other jobs for this one. Don't get me wrong, I really like this job and am trying to make it work, I just don't know how.
I'm used to playing, baking brownies cupcakes, make smoothies, do arts projects, ride bikes, go to outings...like just be fun, but this is so hard.

Any ideas anyone? Please don't tell me that we/I suck, as we are trying hard to do things with them, but all the do is just scream at us. 
What would you do?[/quote]
