[quote=Anonymous]Is this your first nanny job? When you give in to stuff like this it sends the message, “Yes. You are right. I am the only person who can put you to bed.” If you leave, over her objections, she will learn that “Whoa! I had to do something hard/scary and I survived! Now I know that having a sitter isn’t the end of the world!” Giving in on this kind of stuff actually increases anxiety levels in general. Are you an axious person yourself? I am wondering why you can’t separate her feelings (sadness and worry) from reality (babysitter is kind and competent). Her feelings are valid because it’s how she feels but they should not be the determining factor in how the householf functions. Furthermore, you are just the nanny. At some point you won’t be in her life anymore, so doubling down on the importance of ryour role really puts her at a disadvantage. [/quote]
