[quote=Anonymous]I have a question for you OP?

Is this new girl w/your son only overnight when he sleeps?
Or is she actually w/him during the daytime as well?
Did the previous Nanny have more awake hours w/your son??

Perhaps that is why he still talks about the former Nanny.
Also, she was his first Nanny & he spent a lot of his formative years in her care so it is very natural that he bonded so strongly w/her.

This is a toughie.
On one hand you know she is a lovely Nanny, however you do not feel an actual bond there like you saw w/your son’s old Nanny.
Yet on the other hand there may never be another Nanny who will be able to emulate or share the very unique bond that was once so evident.
It is truly a toss up.

If it were me, I would probably keep the new Nanny w/the understanding that it may take a little longer for your son to bond w/her.
All bonds are unique in their own ways + this one may just take a little longer.

As long as she provides great care for your child, then I think that is a good, solid foundation to begin with.

Good luck![/quote]
