How should I prepare my child for a nanny leaving?

Preparing a young child for a major change in caregivers can help them process their emotions and reduce confusion. Experts and experienced parents suggest talking about the departure in advance, validating their feelings of sadness, and using a visual aid like a countdown calendar with stickers to show when the caregiver will return. Even if they are too young to fully grasp the time, maintaining a consistent routine and reassuring them that the nanny will return helps build security.
