[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never considered getting a nanny (due to financial, space and personal preference of not wanting to deal with being an employer). We found a great daycare and love the stability of it - both that we know exactly when it is open and closed (except for the pandemic...) and that our child has been able to stay in the same place for 5 years with several consistent caregivers that know and adore her. Transition to preschool was super easy. Also because it was affordable for us we have been able to afford private therapies for her autism, which are making a huge difference.

The research suggests some small negative effects from putting a baby in daycare but there are so many other things that matter so much more, most importantly your parenting. So do what works best for your family. Nannies definitely have their advantages, not discounting that. Just know that a well vetted daycare can be a great option as well.[/quote]

+1  I’ve done daycares throughout for convenience and price reasons but I think a nanny is very good especially 6 months to 1.5 when sleep schedules are erratic and the children have no concept of socializing.  The kids when joined are daycare at 2 and 3 from having a nanny or SAHM seemed very well adjusted to me — the only way I can tell the difference is by talking to the parents.  Do what works for you.[/quote]
