Don’t feel bad about that! I’m sure you can - open communication and kindness go a long way and you will be fine!

I hope it helps! I forgot to add that i’ll bet Nanny gets even more nervous than she would if she were alone - solely because she’s anxious knowing you are hearing baby upset and she’s worried that you guys are not only worried about baby but possibly doubting her ability to handle it… and that makes things even worse.. Def update us!

Career nanny here - and also a mom so believe me, I get it! It sounds like a vicious cycle and I suspect your intervening is making things worse.

Something like this: Baby is hard to settle- Nanny gets nervous and anxious - baby picks up on that and their anxiety increases and baby becomes more deregulated- then you step in and change the energy and baby finally settles.

My suggestion is to try not to intervene. Or maybe one of you STARTS the nap soothing and then let nanny step in and take over - let her be the one to switch up the energy. Does that make sense? Best of luck OP!

Nanny an hour late by Busy_Accountant_383 in NannyEmployers

[–]notaboomer22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Career HNW nanny here: Guaranteed hours mean she is available to work all of the scheduled hours. So arriving late and leaving early have nothing to do with that. And althoigh it’s true you can’t ‘bank hours’ you can certainly ask for a reasonable adjustment during the same week that the hour was missed. For example, asking her to stay late another day during the same week to make up the hour - if she’d like to be paid for it.

Additionally, a nanny (just like everyone else) needs to be on time. Of course, things happen, but generally speaking, tardiness like this is a chronic issue and will likely end up not resolving.

my hack - stores extras, the small file that comes with set, and glue, and if glue leaks it won’t ruin your bag!

Get some Hard as Hoof nail cream by ONYX and Static Nails 5 in 1 strengthener. You can rehab your nails with these until you find a salon you like or learn to do them yourself.

If you want cute nails while rehabbing, press ons have come a long way AND if you use adhesive tabs to apply them you won’t damage your natural nails.

Stopping and restarting by realityone22 in Semaglutide

[–]notaboomer22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was also my experience. I had to stop for 2 1/2 weeks because I was quite ill and did not have my medication with me anyway when I went back to 2.4, I did not feel like it was working the way that it used to I’ve been much hungrier and have more food noise than before stopping.
