4 Tips to Make Child Comfortable With Babysitter

Mother has plans to hire a nanny to help care for the Little? From my experience, this has raised its own concerns. Because, at first acquainted with a new nanny, the Small refused to interact with the nanny, Mom. The length of the adaptation process of the child to the caregiver is different in each child. Some take a short time to get to know new people, some also take a week to reach a month more. Actually this can be understood, especially if the child aged one year and over, so it can show discomfort and rejection of people who have not known. If Mother faces the same problem, do not worry Mom. Let's look at the following ways!

1. Inform the Caregiver of a Long Day

Before the caregiver introduces herself directly, it's a good idea if Mom informs this to the Little since long. Mom can tell you that there will be new friends coming home. Mention the name, characteristics, and role of the caregiver who will help Mother take care of the Little every day. I tried to do this way a few months ago to the baby. Sure enough, Little is not surprised by the presence of new caregivers you know, ma'am. Apparently this way can give her time to prepare herself with the presence of a new nanny.

2. Avoid Forcing the Little

Does your child look uncomfortable when you are near a nanny? Well, important message for Mom is try not to force the Small, yes. This method will only make the Small more afraid when having to spend time with the new person. From the online articles I read, forcing the Little can also affect the development of child psychology. He may become stressed and eventually get sick easily. So if your little one is trying to avoid a nanny, try to give her a little freedom, Mom. Over time, he will gradually get used to the presence of caregivers at home, really.

3. Avoid Leaving the Small

The presence of caregivers would greatly facilitate me in caring for and completing various other household tasks. Even so, try not to leave the Little alone with a stranger in his eyes, ma'am. According to a friend who works as a psychologist, this will give traumatic impact for the Little, you know. Then, what can you do? Mothers can invite caregivers to be present when Mother is doing daily activities, such as bathing and feeding the Little. That way, caregivers can see the character and habits of the Little, so he also finds out how to get close to the Small.

4. Create Fun Activities with Caregivers

Inviting the Little play to be one of the best ways you can do to bring her closer to the nanny. I finally started to create exciting activities such as visiting the playground, playing chase, hide-and-seek, and cooking. During the first week I was present in the play time so that the Little still feel comfortable. But in the second week, I tried to slowly let him play alone with the nanny. Before long, he began to feel comfortable playing with the nanny, Mom.

Apart from the above, the most important thing is you still give special attention to the little one, yes. So although assisted by the presence of a nanny, the Little can still feel the main affection of Mother. Hope this article helps, Mom!
