[quote=Anonymous]We hired a nanny and have never regretted it. Our nanny took the baby (and then toddler and baby) out every day rain or shine. Various playgrounds, various museums, aquariums, story hours, etc. The kids interacted with others every day. We had the nanny arrive 15 minutes before we had to leave for work and pay for them to stay a half hour past when the first of us gets home (so they can shower, walk the dog, etc.). We have three or four backup people in case the nanny gets sick or when they are on vacation. I wouldn't change a thing. We had each kid do a half year of preschool before kindergarten, and it was fine. Both are now thriving in upper elementary. A nanny can do kid laundry, cull toys and clothes and books grown out of, feed exactly the food you want your kids to eat, ensure they get good naps, etc. All of those things either don't happen in daycare or aren't on the schedule you want.
