Parents with a nanny, babysitter, or extended family member who may take care of your child(ren) on a weekly basis, remember to take about 20 minutes every week or so and sit down with your child’s carer and look at your/your child’s schedule and talk about how things went this past week and your goals for the coming week or so. This allows us to feel that we’re a part of the child’s daytime life, and the nanny to feel they’re an essential part of the family.
