The beginning of care at the nanny's home

Even if most of the time, the beginning of the care at the childcare assistant's really going very well, it's still an obvious upheaval in the life of the whole family.

The first days at the childcare assistant's home.

The return to work, your tiredness, the infernal schedule, the commuting and  your natural fear of separation can become an explosive cocktail!

Fortunately, it does not last long and as with any new thing and  for everyone, it takes time to adapt.

When I went back to work, I was lost, stressed and exhausted. Lola was still waking up every 3 hours and crying a lot at her nanny's, dirty laundry was piling up and I felt like I no longer had the time for it. Finally, I organized myself differently, I found my stride as a working mom and everything is back in order. It was about time... 

Could it be less difficult for the child than for the parents?

It is very likely!
Far be it from us to make you think that your child will not feel a little discomfort during these early stages of the transition, but it is far from being a truly traumatic experience. Of course, there are exceptions when the bond with mom is so close that a baby feels a lot of grief when he sees her leave. With time and attention from the childcarer, he will understand that his mom has obligations and has no other choice.

It is not uncommon, to see that things are moving quickly in the right direction. In general, when the mother begins to trust the nanny and she thrives again in her work and with her colleagues, her guilt decreases. In a short time, the child feels the less and less the strain of separation.

The week of adaptation (or acclimatization)

Childcare assistants all have their way of managing time to adapt to a new family, yes, "the family" and not just "child". It is not alone in having to deal with all the changes brought about by the beginning of the care with the new nanny. You can also propose a schedule that suits you better,

When leaving your child is a heartbreak.

Obviously it hurts, the opposite would be abnormal. We have to let a little water under the bridge. Gradually, you will be more confident about the nanny and the difficulty of separation will decrease day by day, even if it is very difficult at first, we agree.

Entrusting your child with peace of mind.

It is the hope of all parents who have chosen this type of care. What's more comfortable than to leave with free mind knowing your baby is in good hands, and pampered (but not too much!). Maintaining mutual trust is the "secret" for custody be of high quality.
