[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a wonderful nanny and one preschooler, one child in elementary with special needs.

I’m looking off feedback on how to keep our nanny’s job rewarding and fun. I know it is hard right now.

We both work from home. I have started skipping lunch so I do not come out during the day except sometimes to grab a glass of water. I try to not look on too much,or get  involved to give nanny her space. Dh sometimes  comes downstairs for lunch But stays away too. He is good with the kids, type B. Our house is large enough that we have two studies separate from other spaces, which include kids bedrooms and a large playroom and outside with swing set and sprinkler.

I try to be supportive and tell nanny things we have done with older thst are working and send opportunities for virtual programs that may be of interest ( not obligatory of course just a reference). Have asked nanny’s opinion and said we will pay for things that are needed for supplies ( she has a family credit card).  She has a car and know s she can take kids to parks etc as long as there is social distancing.

Looking for things I might have missed / suggestions of how to keep us all sane while we are in the house for the next 7 months plus and keeping her feeling comfortable. Thank you! [/quote]

Are the sn physical, cognitive, emotional, cognitive, behavioral and/or related to learning?  As a nanny who specializes in sn and education, there is a significant difference in my recommendations for both nanny and family based on what the situation is.

You and dh need to stop skipping lunch.  Depending on the sn and whether you have a consistent schedule, coming out for lunch everyday may be helpful or detrimental.  If it’s not an option, get yourselves a cooler for in your office and take it with you in the morning with any lunch and snacks.  It will lead to better healthy eating habits, and it won’t be the case of growing resentment.[/quote]
