Nannying for about 6 months
So I started nannying for a family this last summer. The family is absolutely soooo sweet and I’m happy with the pay. The child is 6 so not baby or toddler. In the beginning the parents were both working out of the house so I was able to get to know the child and find a good flowing schedule for us. I need advice because now mom is working from home. It is not everyday but the past couple of weeks she has been and wow, just wow! it makes my job hard. I have a hard time getting the child’s attention while mom is home because mom is all the child wants. The house is small and her office doesn’t even have a door on it! So when the kiddo goes in there and mom is on her meeting, I feel so awkward and have to whisper to the kiddo and 99.9% of the time she doesn’t listen so I’m continuously interrupting her work and I feel bad! Anyway has anyone delt with this and if so what did you do? Also if anyone has any good (not basic) make believe games or craft/activities to do with a 6 year old child please share. Also I don’t know if it’s a me problem but whenever the parents are home I feel like my creativity and planning skills go down the drain..help lol
