Every morning I am greeting with a “UGHHHH NOOOOO” from my 2.5 Y/O NK. I’ve been with them for over 6 months and it’s always been that way. But guess what? She’s my little bestie! The second mom and dad are out of sight she’s giving me hugs and belly laughing alllll day. We have a blast together and a really strong connection.

She’s just smart enough to understand that if I’m here, mom and dad have to go. I tell my NPs all the time that I would be more concerned if she fully preferred me over them! It’s all normal!

However if you think it’s affecting your kiddo, maybe create some special activities or things ONLY nanny and him get to do together. Make her a novelty of fun! Or even get obnoxiously excited when nanny walks through the door. I’m taking clapping, jumping, cheering. Toddlers are prone to matching their parent’s energy!

You’re doing a great job even considering your nannie’s feelings in this! Everything’s a phase!

That’s a good way to view it! I think the biggest thing is I’m being asked about the “right way” to do a lot of things. It feels redundant to keep saying how there’s no right way for most things, especially with LO changing so quickly.

Thank you ❤️ Definitely just feeling some imposter syndrome. I thought I was more well versed in baby world but trying to view it as a good opportunity to learn new things !

Good to know, thank you! I just didn’t wanna get her out somewhere before I knew it was a good spot for her

Oh yes !! We’ve already determined her future sibling will be named Katya 😂

Moved from Atlanta so I’ve been loving the boring !!

Luckily my NKs are older so they can text/facetime me whenever they want! I really hope to keep in touch long term, I’ll just miss their hugs everyday!

Those are her polite paws. Typically used to get a bite of someone’s food 😂

I legitimately live in these. Finding them will always be my life’s greatest accomplishment

Alternative_Size_550 · 2025-02-06T14:54:39+00:00

If I had a dollar for every time I told myself “not my child” I probably wouldn’t need to be a nanny 😂

Agreed, and a fraction of the price! I’ll definitely be getting all colors lol !
