How can I help my one-year-old adjust to a new nanny?

The transition to a new nanny generally takes a few weeks, as a toddler needs time to feel secure. To facilitate this, prioritize 'caregiving time' for the new nanny—let her handle routine tasks like bathing, feeding, reading, and potty cleaning, as these activities build trust through consistent care. If you work from home, staying out of sight or physically leaving the space during these routines can help your child focus on forming a bond with their new caregiver.
