[quote=Anonymous]She's only been there for six months and your child is five now? Presumably your daughter is in preschool, so that limits the hours she's actually with the nanny. IME, it's more difficult to bond with a specific child in those circumstances, especially if there are at two kids and no one-on-one time. I give gifts (material) when I choose, and I make sure to balance it in my head so nobody feels someone else got something better/bigger, but sometimes that means smaller (or no) gifts during the first six months to a year with the family, especially if I feel the kids already have too many things or that they wouldn't be grateful for something small. On the other hand, i habitually do extra things for and with my charges, and they know when I love them. Oh, and a bond is two-sided, so if the child is less inclined than I am, I back off (frequent with kids who are at least 4 when I start).[/quote]
