I did a Nanny for 1st year of life and then switched to daycare. I felt that was a good age to becoming more interactive with other dbs. [ Reply | More

depends on many things. we have a nanny, and to me the pros are: one on one care; its in your home, which is familiar nad you don't have to get it together to do drop off; more flexibile in terms of hours; almost alwyas cheaper to add a 2d kid. cons: you are dependent on one person; you may not like having someone work in your home; less oversight.

I think you can't beat the convenience of the nanny situation. No lunch to pack, no child to dress and get out the door, my commute isn't any longer b/c i have to do drop off and pick up, etc. It's great. Plus, assuming you find the right person, it's very nice for a baby to have a caregiver who is devoted to them alone, imho. [ Reply | More

If taking care of a kid is so much of a hassle to you, why did you have one in the first place?? [ Reply | More

Are you serious? That was SO rude of you to say. You shouldn't judge others in such a way. How can you actually ask someone why they brought a precious child into this world? Just because someone expresses the many responsibilities involved with preparing a child for daycare does not mean that they should have second guessed bringing their child into this world. That was a very ignorant a mean statement to make. [ Reply | More

We have always used daycare. Mostly liked the idea of dd being around multiple adults & children- seemed like it'd give her more options of people to relate to, and somehow felt safer to me (though now that i know a lot of nannies, i dont think i would feel unsafe about one at all). Also, i didn't want to have to manage an employee. It's worked out well, though it's not as convenient as a nanny. [ Reply | More

I could have written this myself. Also, while I feel better about nannies now than pre-ds, I also see all of my friends encounter nanny issues at some point (make go through a couple before they find one they like, they get pregnant themselves, etc.). But I feel like dd might go out more with a nanny vs. at daycare and my Mom has to help when ds gets sick. [ Reply | More

1. The Obama family is moving in their mother-in-law to the White House. More and more families are looking into hiring a Granny Nanny. 2. Affordability of a nanny in today's society. a. Nannies are not just for the wealthy. b. If you have 2 or more kids in daycare; you would be paying the same for a nanny in most cases. c. If your kids are sick, you can still go to work - a nanny could stay with the kids and kids seem to stay more healthy out of daycare settings. 3. Families hiring nannies online and saving thousands of dollars rather than using a Nanny Placement Agency. 4. A nanny can simplify your life. 5. Nanny Share - Where 2 families are sharing a nanny due to cost. Carolin Soldo [ Reply | More
