I really need btdt advice about my childcare option for next year. I'll be as concise as possible. I work in Queens and live in Brooklyn. DD will be 2.5 in september. Option 1: most expensive. playgroup in my neighborhood. will have to pay for babysitting before and after. but dd can go even on days i'm home. and i can support a local business. Option 2: least expensive. playgroup near my office. i'll have to bring dc on my commute (i go by car). i'll probably have to be late to work every day but i can get away with it (although it might be stressful for me). playgroup ends after my work day ends. Option 3: babysitter right near my office. flexible hours, great location. will have to commute with dc and i think she'd prefer a playgroup instead of a sitter. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I prefer to have dd in daycare near home. It's better if I am sick, I like the few minutes to collect my thoughts en route, etc. plus the sitter can watch dd if she's too sick for playgroup. At 2.5 I think a playgroup is nicer for them so I nix the sitter. But after that I vote for the one near your office, also that one is cheaper and there are fewer moving parts. [ Reply | More

thanks for responding. i think the option near my home will be easiest for me so that i don't have to commute with a 2yo in the car. but it's noticeably more expensive and i'm not sure how to weigh things. (and dh is strongly for taking the cheapest option) [ Reply | More
