Daycare is great for kids. Builds their immune systems, socializes them, and costs less than a nanny. [ Reply | More ]

plus you know that they are not relying on just one person who may be yapping on their cell the whole time watching tv [ Reply | More ]

I am between 2 one is 7 blocks away from home the other 10. My hours arent set but I have lots of backup - family in the area, money is not tight but its not a "non issue" either. My major issue with a nanny is having one stranger form this bond with my child.... [ Reply | More ]

Depends on your job and what kind of flexibility you have. Daycare is great b/c of socialization, less potential for personal drama, etc. However, if your kid is remotely sick they can't come to daycare and you'll have to miss work or have some kind of good backup. My own job doesn't ahve that kind of flexibility. [ Reply | More ]
