Does anyone in the city use home daycare where someone watches 4 or 5 kids in their apt? Or does everyone just use nannies? Is it a bad idea for a newborn? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

i know someone who does in home day care for her db in washington hts. and was happy. in home would make me nervous. they tend to take wider range of ages and the person who is running it may or may not even be licensed. would also need to see background of person running it. but having said that, we had both my kids in day care from 6 mos, and we have been happy. it was run through a church, was very established. we liked the idea of having multiple licensed caregivers watching dc. but a lot depends on your comfort level, needs, budget, etc [ Reply | More

are nannies (off the books) liscensed? So scary that you leave your kids with strangers- bottom line. [ Reply | More
