[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to stop with the anxiety and crazy fear.  Your son is 14 months.  There is no reputable daycare that will stick him in a playpen by himself.

I would look at it, not as generic daycare v. nanny, but at what the actual options are in your area.  I'd start by looking at what the actual options are near your new home--how far away are the daycares?  Will it be a huge pain to drive him there every day, given that you work from home? 
 What do you think of them?  Do other people in the area have nannies?  If you're not near a population center, it might be hard to find one.  But figure out what actually exists in your area, rather than trying to decide categorically.  [/quote]

Agree with everything PP is saying.  Keep in mind that in a rural area, a nanny isn't going to have a plethora of options of things to do with you kid, like library story time, multiple playgrounds and playgroups. music classes, etc.  Not saying those things won't exist, just not in the quantity they exist in DC.

It sounds like you have a lot of anxiety about this move in general?[/quote]
