Goodbye nanny, let's stay in touch!
This is the end of the course of the care at home. Your child is ready for kindergarten, you move, your nanny marries. In short, you separate with your nanny. Your nanny marked your life and that of your child for a few months or years... don't let her go just like that!
End of the childcare with the nanny: shared emotions with the nanny!
For you and your nanny, the "goodbye" is often difficult. But do it with the smile, difficult tasks are always easier to deal with in a good mood. Here are some suggestions to mark the occasion and celebrate the her departure:
- Organize a little friendly get together one evening with both parents, your child and your nanny.
- Prepare a gift with your child (drawing, decorated picture frame with a photo of your child, a little paper mâché sculpture he's made...)
- Get a little gift from yourself: a cookbook, jewelry, chocolate, flowers...
And above all, make sure to tell your child that this isn't goodbye forever. You will take time this summer to send a postcard to your super nanny, and you will visit her next year!
The end of the care with the nanny: what the child feels]
With the idea of the departure of his nanny, your child is sad? This is normal, he is losing emotional security. Talk to him, tell him you understand that his nanny did not give him up and that you, you are still there.
Maria at the Mouthy Housewives addresses this very issue in her column for BlogHer which you can read here. Takeaway? It's going to difficult for your child but he will learn from it, just make sure he knows it's okay to express his feelings to mommy and daddy.
But also talk to him later in positive terms: it's good to grow up, to explore school, to see friends and so on.
