[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk openly with your nanny at the end of every day in the beginning to see how things are going.  Nursing your baby is no problem but the toddler seeing this as an opportunity to be with you might be.

What has made this WFH situation easier for me and better for my toddler charge is that from the beginning I told my employers that I was not going to pull him away from them.  I would, of course, try to distract him but he can visit them whenever he wanted.  After a couple days he realized I was more “fun” and his parents weren’t forbidden fruit so he generally leaves them alone.  It’s worked out great.

Plus we have a schedule that’s set so my charge’s parents know that from 9 to 11, for example, we’ll be outside.  And 12:30 to 3ish he naps.  Any extremely important meetings that can’t be interrupted are scheduled for those times.  [/quote]

+1. Let your toddler come to see you whenever he wants to but don’t make his visits fun.  Just say hi, give a hug, and go back to work.  It’s truly the only thing that works.  Let your toddler decide what’s fun and what’s not - otherwise he’ll never leave you alone.  [/quote]
