[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I could ask this exact same question of someone who chose a nanny. Like why would you trust some random person in your house over vetted and accountable group childcare? That sounds insane!![/quote]

Because the people working at a childcare facility aren’t vetted any more than someone you hire as a nanny.  You have no idea who these people are working at a daycare.  You may actually have a better idea of who a nanny is if you hire her through word of mouth.

If you have the means, you will likely end up with a decent nanny who take good care of your child.

It’s so much better for your child to be in his or her own home with 1:1 attention. The child is able to avoid more illnesses and no rush to get out of the house in the morning.  Daycare is essentially warehousing your child for the day.  Why would you want your kid in storage and not in his or her own home?

Besides DC, I have never lived anywhere else that a person who can afford a nanny would choose daycare.  In most places, a nanny is a luxury item and for a reason.  [/quote]

This isn’t true if you’re using licensed and high quality daycare. Everyone at ours has a criminal background check on file.[/quote

You keep on deluding yourself.

My daughter worked at a daycare center last summer.  Supposedly, everyone there had a criminal background check except that they didn't.  Daycare pays minimum wage at best and they hire almost anyone who applies for a job.

My daughter quit when her boss hired a mini van driver whose licence had been suspended for DWI.  . [/quote]

Your daughter worked for a criminal then. Obviously whatever nanny you paid to raise her didn’t impart particularly excellent judgement?

Most of these things— background checks, fingerprinting and certainly safety and licensing records are easily accessed. For some daycares that are also part of non-profits, the salary is public for some roles. This area has highly educated and litigious parents. Take your vendetta elsewhere.[/quote]
