I haven't read all of the other responses as my DS is climbing something he shouldn't (my chair) and I'm attempting to 'spot' him whilst typing - but yep, if the carer is aware of the situation and willing to gently assist your DS to sleep, it's definitely possible, and without crying. I've just recently started back at work part-time and my carer has had him two full days - the first he required a little assistance to sleep (cuddling), the second he self settled. Happily. He won't do that for me!!!! (Although my DS will go to sleep for my DP, but only if rocked in a pram. He's never self settled though, until now. And he'll only do it for his carer).
I know quite a few people who've said that with the right carer, they actually sleep better than they will for the parents (and especially for the booby dispenser LOL).
