Would you worry about your baby in nanny's car ?

I love my nanny. It's not anything to do with her. But I can't help but worry about something happening.

I worry someone will crash into them. I used to worry about my daughter choking or having a bad fall at nursery too. But I don't worry as much anymore.

I feel very uneasy giving up that control of them and I worry someone will take them or they'll have an accident etc.

I feel uneasy until they're back home. But I can cope. But I just keep imagining getting a bad call / hearing the news. It doesn't stop me sending them off to do fun things, but I do worry and like I said, feel on edge until they're home again.

Is that normal or is it a bit much ? My kids are 3 and 1.

Yes I used to worry about my kids nannies driving with them but I employed them so that my kids could go places with them so I had to get those thoughts out of my mind. It’s so hard though, I know

it doesn’t end oP

I’m more petrified about when they’re teens and they’re driving (praying we’re all in self drive cars in the next 5 years!!)

I think you are just feeling like a mum! My mum my daughter’s GM looks after her while I work and I worry there will be falls, bangs of heads and crashes etc … to be fair to my mum I feel the same when my DO is with her 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think, like the posters above have said, that you're just being a mum. I think it's normal to worry, I know I do about such things, but I also know I can't do everything myself so just have to try my best not to think of the worst case scenarios and trust others and trust that everything will be ok.
