[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm expecting with my first and exploring childcare options for my son starting at 3.5-4 months.  I love the convenience that a nanny would provide (no drop off/pick up to worry about, no bags to pack, etc.), but the price tag is tough to stomach.  (A nanny share might be an option, but I do think you lose a bit of convenience.)  I've been searching larger daycare facilities, but am also curious about in-home daycare, as there are a couple near our house in Falls Church (close to Haycock Elementary).  For some reason, I'm a little weary about in-home daycare, but I’m not exactly sure why.  Perhaps it’s the lack of higher oversight combined with my perception of not great ratios/less individual attention. But I also don’t know that any of that is true, and maybe I’d actually love it.  Has anyone explored in-home daycare and made the decision to go or not go that route?  What should I be considering/asking?  I know some are smaller and only have a few kids with one caregiver and others are larger and have multiple caregivers, and there are probably pros/cons to both.  Thanks for any thoughts!   [/quote]

I had similar, I guess I’d call it concerns as you but we ended up going with an in-home that came highly recommended by multiple families.  We love it, it’s truly the best of both worlds.  I would encourage you to ask around to see if you can talk to anyone who currently has their kids in one near you. [/quote]
