[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This almost certainly isn't about you OP.  Truly.  This is about an insecure or anxious or guilt-ridden mom.  And it sounds like you have a great attitude overall about the cameras so that is really lucky for her!

I think you should just keep in mind that a)hopefully she will relax in time, b) you can start planning some walks/picnics/library visits for storytime, etc... w/ the baby and that will help her get used to not having constant eyes on the child, and c) maybe you can build your relationship w/ her enough to gently say that you're concerned she doesn't trust you since you notice she has the camera on all the time.

But just start w/ reminding yourself that this really isn't about you.  I bet she'd behave the same way no matter who is with the child.  She probably drives her husband and family crazy also, but is hardest on herself (which is why she is trying to assuage her guilt by watching him and running to him all the time.)

I don't think it's wise to encourage the nanny to tolerate the parent's mental health problems. Most nannies simply aren't equipped to take that on successfully.[/quote]
