[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Set a timer. Give yourself x amount of minutes to decompress/meditate/read/enjoy your lunch, and then give him attention. During that time, let him relax/play quietly/watch tv/etc. [/quote]

It sounds like more of an end of the week exhaustion that won’t be cured by a little quiet time.  [/quote]

It was a helpful suggestion. Do you have a more productive suggestion? [/quote]

OP wasn’t asking for “solutions” or suggestions,  PP.  She is asking if any other nannies feel this way.  Suggesting such a silly “fix” doesn’t come close to addressing how to overcome true exhaustion. [/quote]

Okay, well OP either needs to improve self-care outside of working hours by going to bed earlier, talk to her bosses about cutting back on hours, duties or both, or accept being a sub-par caregiver.  Can I relate? Yes.  But I don’t think it’s helpful or productive to say, “Other nannies feel that way too!  You’re still a good nanny!”

When faced with a problem like this, bad nannies don’t even notice, sub-par nannies notice and feel guilty, great nannies notice and take action![/quote]
