Professional Nanny's Hardest Day

Video Transcript

"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."
