at that time i was working now i have opened my own business and i am wondering if i change sitters if it would have an effect on him ( he had to go to her house) i can't ask her to come home and look after him because she has other children she see about. i need to get a live in sitter how can i ensure the change is not too dramatic for him he really likes her and she is really good with him

I tend to find children very flexible with people. my duaghter tends to take a couple hours to warm up to a new person, but after that she is ready to rumble, and when i had to find her a new sitter, what eneded up happening was the first two times we were over to interview her, my duaghter would sit right wiht thesitter, which helped me to know she woudl be comfortable with this sitter, and then when i started leaving her with the sitter, she would kind of sit back and jsut watch what the sitter was doing and how she was interacting with the other kids . and she did this for about an hour or two for abotu a month until she saw that yes this perosn is frinedly, and yes this person does know what i like and does want to keep me safe and happy.... and sicne then she jsut goes right to the sitter no problem at all ready to haul her off to play. and its worked out great for us!
so jsut interview different people, have them come over and stay with you and your son for a few hours more than jsut the once, if it is a person you are really considering and then when you feel tha your son is accepting of this person, ,that may ebt he tiem to hire them on, and take thigns from there! Best of luck!!!

as a former nanny, I think you should let him go to the other lady's house for 2 or 3 days a week and lat the new sitter watch the baby the rest of the time to get used to her. Then the transition to full time wont be so bad. If your son will be @ your home it should make things easier. Good luck!

find a live in sitter that has a good personality your baby will know the transition wont be as hard! they have to learn that they will have many changes in their lives and they have to learn to go with the flow at an early age...they will cry few times then he will enjoy the new sitter
your son will be alone because the other sitter had other children for him to play with...you should try to put him in other activities with children his own age.
babies they make strange at certain age but they will eventually outgrow it..
I have 7 and14 years old boys.

Changing sitters for a three month of shouldn't be a problem. Is he more attach to her or you? I think being able keep him near you is a great opportunity for you to bond. Maybe play dates at the sitters with the new nanny?

seems that you dont really have a choice. best that you have the new sitter around already helping when you or the old sitter is around. just so your child gets used to her. eventually, he will get used to her accept her as a part of her life. tho note that the transition period is probably different for every child.

your baby will be fine as long as you can get a good one !if shes turns out bad hopefully your sitter will still help you out so be good to her and talk about your plans she may need time to find a replacement so she can survI've because babysitters depend on that income no matter how small!ive been a babysitter my whole life

to me its completely superb. yet i'm no longer a mom. yet i'm a babysitter and daycare instructor. i've got babysat young infants youthful than that. If its purely for some hours i do no longer think of its that substantial of a deal. yet what i might do is i might leave particular training. purely for some concept with him being so youthful he will sleep different the time that your long gone besides so theres no longer that plenty to concern approximately.
