It hasn't even been a week yet.
Some babies do not take transition well.
Your nanny is completely on point here.
These situations take time. Patience. More time. And a lot more patience.
But in the end if both you and the nanny persevere eventually you will have a happy ending.
Just getting there will be a challenge.
You sound like you want to throw the towel in pre-maturely. Please don't give up on your baby so quickly.

My charge was 9 weeks when I started and cried for 2 weeks after I started working for the family. She's 11 now, I'm still with the family

You are still smack dab in the middle of the transition, and if your baby cries with everyone else, her crying with the nanny is not out of the norm. What is pretty reassuring is that your nanny is communicating with you and not trying to hide it from you or minimize it. That's definitely a good thing, and bodes well for the future. With a nanny, trust and honesty is everything.
This! The nanny is being open and honest and that is something most people will not do. They would be afraid that you would blame them. Continue on the path that you are on and you and your child will build a great partnership and bond with he nanny. It is difficult and it will get better. It will take your child longer but it will be okay.

Thanks for the replies. I feel so much better knowing that this is normal. My DD doesn't this with her dad but that may be because we share equal amounts of time with her.

This is a huge change for her. Give them time. Please give your child and the nanny the time and space to build a bond. It will happen. It all depends on how YOU handle it.
BTW...every single family (3) I've started with, I started when the first child was a small infant. I've stayed with these families for an average of 6 years and cared for all of their siblings. Every single one of them cried the first few days. It's completely normal. My point is that we developed strong, loving bonds over time.

Your baby is 16 weeks (not quite 4 months old). At that age, it's normal for the baby to cry if she's been home with you exclusively. It's more likely to happen if she has cried with everyone else as well. How does she act when her father holds her?

I'm wondering if you need to rethink having a nanny.

I started back to work yesterday and hired a nanny for my 16 week old. She has over 10 years experience with infants, and came highly recommended. The nanny said DD cried majority or today and yesterday. She does cry for strangers ( even my parents) but I don't know if I should be concerned? The nanny seems to being doing good things, but she said she cries even trying to play. She smiled and played when I was holding her, but she loses it as soon as I hand her to the nanny. The nanny said this is a normal transition period, but she never had a baby cry so much during the first few days of work. I am wondering if she just doesn't like her?
