advice on new mindee needed if possible

[mummy2girls]

I haven't posted here before - but regularly read!
I'm a newly qualified childminder and wanted to ask advice on two things with my new mindee who is 10 months and started a few weeks ago.
The first thing is I wondered if anyone has experienced jealousy from their own DC's when they started childminding. My dd is 2 and is mostly fine but has said on a few occasions that she doesn't like the new mindee and doesn't want him to play with her toys...
The other thing I wanted to ask advice on was settling new mindees into sleeping at your home. The mindee is fed to sleep at home and so far he has always fallen asleep in the buggy or car. Although I've tried a few times to put him in the travel cot he gets very upset. Any tips that might help?
Thank you in advance

I think jealousy is normal, esp if this is the first time that ur DD will have been in a situation like this.

My dd was 2 in august and i have a mindee that has just turned one, so similar ages. She does get a bit jealous sometimes, but i do think thats normal, esp when mindee is sitting on my knee for exmaple, but i jus tell her thats why i have two knees!! lol

I always used to put my own childrens toys away, especially anything special. Now that mine are older its not an issue but when they are younger I think it helps to have toys just for minding, I really don't mean everything, but your dd should be able to put away toys she doesn't want to share.

With the sleeping its still early days, children will often learn to self settle at the minders better than at home. I can remember having to rub a childs back and stroke the head for a while and slowly withdrawing to just touching the head, to sitting at the side of the cot to reasure the child. If he settles in the buggy well I would stick to that if its a good size buggy and it can lie flat, perhaps moving on to the cot when he has been with you longer.

Thank you Polly & Danthe for your responses. Good idea with regards to putting away DD's toys - I thought I had done that for most toys, but it turns out some 'minding' toys have now become 'special' ones!
Thanks also for the buggy advice - I was worrying that he shouldn't be sleeping in the buggy at home (when he's fallen asleep on the school run I bring him in in the buggy and he carries on sleeping). But, as you say, it's early days and I hope to progress to the cot over the next few weeks!
