I hate that this was written so long ago and no one has responded! I know it is hard, but separation anxiety can continue through two years of age. I don't have a magic fix; I wish I did, but I can tell you that it is a very good thing that your daughter trusts you enough to let you know what she hates. It means that she believes that she has the power to influence her surroundings. Babies/toddlers who do not feel that way have what is called "learned helplessness" and are prone to depression and social problems later in life. Our daughter has had a lot of separation anxiety and we have tried to have one of us with her along with the babysitter until she gets comfortable. Now sometimes when we leave she gets upset, but not nearly as bad as she used to.
