[quote=Anonymous]We just had the same situation, except our kids are 5 and 3. The new nanny only cares for the 3YO, and it's in part of a share, which I think helps since there is another kid in the mix. It took exactly one week to adjust. We started the share on a Tuesday, and by the following Tuesday, there were no tears when I left in the morning. Today was the 2-week mark and he did not care when I left this morning.

This was after we tried daycare and a week and a half in, he was very sad and not adjusting well at all. We pulled him out, put him in the share, and he adjusted within a week.

Our former nanny started with us part-time when our youngest was only 2 months old, so this was a big adjustment for him.

I would think that if it's been a month, your kids should be adjusting by now, especially the 4YO (who, by the way, is not a toddler anymore). How are the kids when you get home? Do they seem happy at that point, or like they've been miserable all day? How does the nanny say the day went?[/quote]
