[quote=Anonymous]It is very neighborhood and budget dependent.

On Roosevelt Island (where we live) there is a parents’ FB group where parents will answer questions and try to help each other. This is especially true with regard to finding nannies - people who are leaving the city or have aged out of their nanny will try to help beloved nannies find a new family.

However, in some ways, RI is probably easier because we have limited options. Additionally, a reasonable percentage of the people on RI aren’t mind-blowingly wealthy, so some of the options tend to be affordable. Since so many people have left the city recently, funding a space has been easy for the last year (With the exception of kindergarten - so many kids were redshirted due to covid that I heard K was waitlisted at PS/IS 217).

My brother is in a really nice area of Brooklyn. Everything (daycare, camps, classes, aftercare, nannies) seems more stressful there because there are more options and the parents are very into getting “the best”.[/quote]
