[quote=Anonymous]So...I've been a nanny for close to 10 years. I recently started a position 4 months ago with a then 3.5 month old baby.  Even after nearly 4 months, I'm still having issues with this baby.

She cries/screams CONSTANTLY. The tiniest thing will set her off, and she will scream like she is being murdered. If I leave the room, she screams. When I come back to soothe her, she screams. When I carry her around, she screams.

She's almost 8 months old, so I'm pretty certain it isn't colic.

I've never had this issue before. Typically, when I start with a small infant, they become very attached to me fairly quickly. This baby hasn't.  She will smile at me, but I can't seem to soothe her anytime she's upset.

I've told her parents, and they say they never have a problem with her screaming. I've tried to work on letting her entertain herself and cry it out for naps, but they never want me to let her cry.

I"m honestly EXHAUSTED and completely burnt out. Should I just leave? Is it something I'm doing wrong?

I'd love to hear any advice or similar experiences.[/quote]
