[quote=Anonymous]I have been my two-year-old (26 months) charge's nanny since she was born.  She has one very sensitive grandmother who says she wants a relationship with my charge but really doesn't put in the time or follow my charge's lead in play.  She also insists on calling my charge by her formal name rather than her nickname.  The end result is that when this grandmother comes over, my charge will not allow me to leave the room and will not play with the grandmother.  The grandmother seems to blame me for this.  She has looked at me and said things like, "Can I play with Larla now" and 'Isn't it my time to play with Larla?"  Trust me - I would LOVE the break if my charge would play with her!!!  When my charge demands me, the grandmother says things like, "Wow - she is so demanding!"

This is not the case with the other grandmother at all.  My charge runs to her and asks to go to the other grandmother's house.

I am out of ideas as to what to do to get my charge to play with the unliked grandmother and I am sick of being blamed for it.  My MB completely understands as her child does the same with her, so it is not an issue with me losing my job.

I am not willing to have a meltdown when grandmother comes over which is what happens if I leave my charge alone with her.

What do I do?    [/quote]
