[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree…..that going through three Nannies is a little problematic.

What happened to the previous ones?
Did you let them go or did they decide to leave on their own?
If the latter - - were any specific reasons given?

It takes time for a young child to form a bond w/a new person, though shouldn’t take more than three wks.

Maybe your child just needs a little more time.
And are you completely sure your daughter does not know that you are close by??
Because if she has any inkling that you are &gt; it will be much more challenging for her to grow to really like her new Nanny.

The Nanny should actively engage your child, perhaps w/books, toys + even puzzles.
She should make an attempt to interact w/o coming on too strong during the process.

And it will be better for EVERYone if you & your husband focus on your work duties and let the Nanny focus on caring for your child.
It is tough, especially as a first-time parent but it is imperative that you give your Nanny 100% autonomy in her job and not micromanage her.

Working alongside a parent who telecommutes can be tough for Nannies &gt; however they can work out well if certain boundaries are respected as well as upheld.

Good luck![/quote]
