    Thanks Again Nannyde

    I took an 8 month old DCG 2 weeks ago. She would not nap for me at all. She had only slept 15 minutes a few times.
    I did a 30 min. consult with Nannyde yesterday and today she is sleeping in her bed. I did a little jig! So happy!
    Thanks AGAIN Nannyde. happyface

        She is really a sweet, soft spoken gal that truly has a heart of gold.

        It's only her written words that seem to come off as harsh, but that because she knows her stuff and doesn't need to add fluff.

        Have you watched her youtube videos?

        You can see/hear the gentleness I'm talking about.

          Yes, and I love them! I love her advice and totally appreciate her bluntness. I'm new to the home daycare world and can just imagine myself on the phone with her going "uh...uh...I dunno...uh..."

            For those interested, Nannyde wrote some really good articles for Daycare.com and are worth a read: https://www.daycare.com/nannyde/

              Oh when you speak to her she is absolutely the sweetest person I have ever spoken with. She has the most gentle voice.
              She absolutely empowers you. Best thing I ever did for me and my daycare kids.

                I am DEFINITELY going to keep her in mind! I'm so glad she was able to help you out. I consider her kind of... daycare.com royalty...? if that makes sense.

                      Awww thanks. I love daycare.com. lovethis I'm not royalty. I'm a big fan!

                      Consults are really easy. I've never had anyone be nervous after the first few minutes. I do an initial set of standard questions so I can get a feel for your deal and then target your needs. It is super low key...

                      The only drawback is the time goes by really fast.

                            It depends on how long I have had the kid and how strong he/she is. If he/she is a newbie and tiny I would go low and slow.

                              5 months, have had him since 6 weeks, and he's a feisty fellow. Every day, he convinces me more that he knows what's-what.
