[quote=Anonymous]We do have security cameras and I have to admit I haven't watched all the footage because it's hours upon hours, but browsing here and there she does seem to take care of him. The only mildly annoying things I've noticed is that sometimes she will try to finish another task while he's whining/crying lightly (which as his mother would be to me an indication that he wants attention, a game, or a nap) and that when he's full fledged bawling she doesn't seem to be able to soothe him at all. She just holds him and rocks him very slowly and sings this same song softly. I've tried to tell her to address these things and I think she has some but she still doesn't seem to be able to soothe him. I don't know if it's a matter of time or if by now not being able to soothe him means it's just not going to happen and I should move on looking for someone else.

I don't work from home (I wish!!) so I don't think that's the issue. She started part time 2-3 days a week for 10 hours each day) but we're not doing the full 5 days going forward. I don't know how long of an adjustment process should be normal, but he definitely has spent quite some time with her.

Regarding her experience, she provided two references from working with infants. We called the people and they said great things about her. And overall she does seem to know about babies (like how to handle pumped breast milk and change a diaper and all). She just doesn't seem to have the right touch with my baby. [/quote]
