[quote=Anonymous]My little one is six months old and still taking three naps a day. He's a pretty good sleeper and each nap usually ranges from 1-2 hours. My understanding is that he'll be dropping the late afternoon nap in the next few months, but until then I'm not sure if I should worry that our nanny is bored. I work from home and whenever I go downstairs when the baby is asleep our nanny is watching TV with a glazed look in her eyes. She just recently started working for us and this is the first time she's working in our particular neighborhood so she doesn't have her usual nanny friends closeby and obviously the weather being cold isn't helping the situation in terms of getting out. LO sleeps for more than half the time she is here and baby laundry, preparing bottles, straightening up doesn't take that much time.

I think it's pretty well understood that time with babies this age can be a bit mind numbing and she's been around enough kids (one of her own included) to know this. But for some reason I just feel concerned that she's going to try and find a less boring job. I'd like to think that she knows that the flip side of this situation could be worse and she'd be going with him non-stop with no break. My son gives her all kinds of smiles and squeals when he's awake and I think my husband and I are pretty good bosses, but I know myself from maternity leave how isolating it can feel being home alone with a baby.

Any thoughts? [/quote]
