[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were ever to need childcare for your children what type of childcare would you pick? [/quote]

A nanny isn’t in our budget but I prefer it to daycare for many reasons... or at least for infants and younger toddlers.

I know this opinion isn’t going to be wildly popular but for experience daycares are not what’s best for children under 2.  It’s really hard for adults with numerous babies to meet the emotional needs of infants and toddler.  Basic needs, of course and most staff truly love your children but are so overworked and underpaid and overwhelmed with kids.

If I were to choose a daycare it would be one with lower ratios that’s strict about what ages can be within a classroom.

But if I had a high paying job I loved and we had the money I’d pick a nanny.  I’d love to come home to a clean house, my kids fed and bathed etc so I could just focus on them versus picking up dirty faced kids from a daycare and driving them home only to fix them dinner, bathe them etc.. all while totally exhausted.[/quote]
