FAQ Childcare 6-12 months

What tips help make a transition to a new nanny smooth?

Transitions typically take a few weeks to a month for an infant or toddler to feel secure. To make this easier, prioritize 'caregiving time' for the new nanny—let her take over routine tasks like bathing, dressing, potty cleaning, and reading books. This fosters a bond through direct care rather than just observation. Maintain a consistent routine and be patient; the child needs time to build trust with a new primary caregiver.
