[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... thanks for the reminders about "good girl" or "smart girl" - I actually did read Nuture Shock a few years ago, but had forgotten about praising effort versus inherent qualities like intelligence. Both of these caregivers praise inherent qualities, so that's something to tackle for another day. They are both paid the same hourly wage - the only difference is that one speaks in a cooing voice, sings to the baby while feeding her, and is more animated while reading. The other is a perfectly good nanny, but is cooler and more mechanical and less gleeful about reading to the baby or showing her things. Like a PP said, she would be fine with older children, but I wasn't sure if I should want more for my baby. I know no one can love her as much as I do, but I was wondering if it's reasonable to expect someone to enjoy spending time with her more than the current nanny. Thanks for everyone's input so far.

She shouldn't be singing to her while she's feeding her.[/quote]
