My hardest day as a nanny was a couple weeks ago, I came over to, I went to their house
and the baby was very attached to her mom. The mom left and the baby didn't stop crying
all day. I was there for like three hours and she was hysterically crying. I was calling
her mom, calling her grandma, calling everyone I knew to try and help me. My dad even. And
just I couldn't, everything, every advice that someone was giving me, it wasn't working.
So I finally had to take the baby to the mom's work so that she could calm down and know
that her mom was going to come back home. And the moms ended up staying with her. Like
I could not get her to stop crying. It was really, really heart breaking, so sad. It's
normal that they go through that at that age. If something like that happens to you, the
only advice I have for you is you have to know what the baby loves. So this baby in
particular had a security blanket and her binkie, so I gave her that. She, I mean she
started to feel a little bit better. It stopped at one point, but I went upstairs and I sprayed
the mom's perfume on me so that when I held the baby, she smelled her mom. And that actually
helped for a little bit. She started to nod off and then she woke up again and got hysterical
again. But it did help for a while and it was, she thought her mom was there. So it
was good again.
