Hi all,
I'm a nanny to a 16m/o boy in Aberdeen (have been with him since he was 6m/o) and now he's getting a bit older I'm more concerned with socialising him. He's his parent's only child so far, and as they're the first in their social group to have kids he doesn't have any playmates through them I could follow up with. Of the few of my social circle who have children most of them are of the wrong age group so that isn't really an option either. I take him to a toddlers group once a week which he loves, but I think it would be nice for him to build up friendships in smaller groups/ one-on-one (there's about 30 toddlers in the playgroup). I used to work in Edinburgh before this job and there was a good few nanny groups where my charge and I could meet other children and their nannies for trips etc, but have so far had no luck finding out about it up here. I have posted in the local section but thought I'd ask if anyone had any general advice about how they'd socialised their charges in similar situations?
