VENT: i’m really struggling right now. Went back to work yesterday.I’m a nanny. And before everyone comments and says I should be grateful that I can bring my daughter to work with me, yes I know. But it is HARD. Had to wake her up at 6:30 when she normally gets up at 8. She wouldn’t eat her breakfast. Didn’t nap and wouldnt eat lunch. She’s exhausted but wouldn’t fall asleep because she’s not in her crib. The boys i’m nannying for seem to be too annoyed by her. yelling at her no when she touches their toys. getting angry when she goes near them. She was so exhausted she’s all over the place and a disaster. I feel like I literally can not do this. It’s not fair to me or my daughter. Day #2 and won’t eat her breakfast yet again. Send help. idk what to do
Uhhhh·
I dont have an idea for the breakfast but for nap time can you do a playpen with her favorite blanket or stuffed toy from home ?

It takes time to adjust. But it may not be the right environment for her

Like the moms above mentioned why not take her playpen, some toys and comfort items for her to enjoy. This can help separate her from the boys that way all the children are comfortable and there are no issues. As far as the no eating thing she probably feels the bad vibes and energy the other kids are given off... it’s possible she is uncomfortable and that can have an effect on her not wanting to eat or nap.

Probably has to get in the routine of things. And for the kids you're nannying, well there's their "sharing" lesson

This is a major change for her mama. It's just gonna take some time for her to adjust.

I know it’s a big change and it’ll get some time getting used to it, but if my daughters vibes were off, and the kids were annoyed by her, I’d find some other family who needs nannying. One that has to click with my daughter before I’d agree to anything. Maybe I’m picky lol but like mentioned above, I don’t think it’s the right environment for her

it’s definitely hard, i did this with my son with 2 different families! honestly i wish i had a sitter for him so i didn’t have to take him! it’s hard taking care of bigger kids when i had a BABY. just make her feel at home, dress her comfortably, i held my son and rocked him to sleep, told the kids they had to play nice or we weren’t playing! i brought Jax his own toys, his blanket, his sippy and different snacks since he’s so damn picky. they probably are annoyed by her bc they aren’t usually around baby’s and don’t know why they can’t play with her like they would kids their age. set boundaries. i would tell them they can watch a movie of their choice, but then we’re watching something for Jaxon, and then it’s their turn. and don’t wake her up at a 6:30! i used to just take my kid in what he slept in, and changed him when he woke up for the day!

It's so hard when you're at your job with your child. I use to be a caregiver for my husbands grandma & brought my daughter. From 2 months old until around a year old. I just couldn't do it anymore when she started running around. It was overwhelming.
