i just started a nanny job about 3 weeks ago for a 4 year old little girl and i'm allowed to take my 5 year old and 3 year old with me when i watch her she and my 3 year old get along great but she has a problem with my 5 year old son and refuses to play with him how can i help them get along better and be friends we are together mom-fri from 7am to 3pm and if they can't work it out i don't think i can continue to watch her my child's happiness is at stake
@leahsmommi, that's a good idea i'm still trying to get used to being at someone else's house all day and not knowing what i can use and what not to use it's extremely hard trying to navigate in a house that doesn't belong to you and know what is going to make someone upset
@jsco, that's how i feel about it and she doesn't see anything wrong with her child hurting my sons feelings and making him cry becuz of what she is saying
Then no one can play unless we can all get along! Lol gosh this little girl wouldn't play w my daughter but always try to take her stuff. I told her you can't play w her things because you don't know how to share. Then again, you are the nanny...monitor the as they play. They can only play if they include him, if not they can sit down and read. Have them all do projects that they do individually but can all do at the same time.
Oh what the hell! I definitely don't think I'd stay there long then, I don't think that's right of the mother she's making it harder on you when you're the one caring for her child
@leahsmommi, idk she said she doesn't raise her daughter like that but then it happens with only my son and not my daughter
Maybe her parents raised her like that. Not allowed to play w boys. Or boys only play w boys. And girls w girls???
@jsco, i've talked to the mom and she tells me that she isn't going to force her daughter to play with someone if she doesn't want too but it's like we spend all day with her and she can't even talk to her daughter or make an effort
Oh 😕 poor little guy, maybe talk to her parents and tell them what's going on and maybe they'll be able to talk to her or tell her that it's ok to play with a boy too
@jsco, the only problem with that is she won't play with him even when they play hide and seek or anything she tells him she doesn't want to play with him he even tries to play dolls with the girls and she says that he can't play becuz they are only a girls toy
Ask her. Take your own craft supplies. Something as simple as grapes and toothpicks or marshmallows and toothpicks can keep them busy for a while. Or play little minute to win it games lol maybe she'll start to warm up to your baby
