[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if you can generalize.  It really depends on what your needs are.  In general nannies are more expensive and have the potential to be more attuned to your individual child's needs, which obviously can be great.

That said, anyone who regularly visits parks on weekdays can attest to having witnessed some pretty checked out nannies.  Daycares are more regulated, at least in this area.  They might also be a better fit if you are not comfortable managing a household employee -- which I personally really, really am not (trial and error and I learned this).

Nanny shares can have their own complications.  To be honest I was looking for one for my boy when he was a toddler and I ended up feeling that I couldn't trust a nanny with him and another kid on the playground at that age.  But he was a very rambunctious, daredevil toddler and this was when he was about 18 months -- for me, one of the scariest ages.[/quote]

But to be clear, nannies can be absolutely fabulous.  There are a couple I know now (who care for friends' children) who are absolute gems.[/quote]
