So our DD goes to a daycare 2 (consecutive) days a week and she has a nanny 3 days a week. When her nanny comes over she sometimes is shy and will cry but warms up to her after maybe about 10 minutes.

Today I dropped DD at daycare and I took her out of the carrier and put her on the floor and she started to wail. The nanny said I cannot stay because she will expect me to stay with her every time I drop her off. So I pretty much did a drop and run. Handed her to the daycare lady and left. I could hear her crying from outside.

I understand the reason, but I cannot help but feel bad for my DD. With the nanny I stay for about 15 minutes she interacts with DD and then I leave without her seeing me and she's fine.

Is this a normal thing? Anything I can do to make DD's daycare experience a more positive one?
