[quote=Anonymous]You're overreacting.   You have a looong road ahead of you in terms of coping with your child's capacity to endanger themselves!  (I mean that gently, as a mom of toddlers who scare the daylights out of me daily.  Wait until your daughter flips herself off the couch or bed right onto her head.  Wait until she starts climbing up on the tables and dressers.  Wait until she can open doors, unplug appliances, reach the stove, etc...)

Ask the nanny to try to keep pillows around her until your daughter has a better sense of balance.

Be very careful about the way the nanny may be perceiving your concern.  I'm not saying you're wrong to comfort your child, or worry about her well-being, etc... But if I were the nanny in this situation I imagine I would feel your concern and disapproval and be pretty defensive myself.  Also, you're training your daughter to circumvent the nanny and look for you.  The work from home thing is a really difficult thing to regulate - not just for the nanny.
