What to do if your children don't like the nanny? Tips for resolving a personality conflict with the caregiver

Question

I recently returned to work and my 4-year-old expressed his dislike for our nanny, preferring our neighbor instead. Although she is not mistreating him, he exhibits poor behavior towards her. My wife believes it's our son's problem and he will eventually adjust. Should we search for a new daycare provider or hope things improve over time?

Answer 1

Don't wait Make a change Children are little barometers They will react when the pressure is up. ... But it takes a lot for them to verbalized that they do not like an adult. We had the same nanny for 10 +years ... Closer to me than my own family. No big blow out but the kid's needs changed and she never really adapted to their growing needs . I should have made a change 3 years ago . The nannies that are Great will infants are not always great with the changing needs of a growing child . As a parent you are their advocate and decision maker.
