[quote=Anonymous]We paid for our full time nanny during this period and my sister did drivers/part time sitters. So I had a period of several years to compare. I definitely paid more and it was easier - less coordinating, more consistent care, easier on the parents by a lot. My sister paid a lot less -maybe only 20 or 25% of what I paid so that's the biggest difference. But it was way more work - every year finding a new driver and babysitter, figuring out which sitter could do what days, etc. and also not as consistent care. But one better thing was her babysitters were more like young college kids and my nanny was more like an older experienced nanny so I think my sister's kids liked their babysitters better. Definitely pros and cons, the biggest delta being cost.[/quote]
