[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In home daycare is the cheapest option, followed by a daycare center.  A nanny or nanny share will cost way more than either of these options.  So if you're worried about the cost, go with daycare.  People choose nanny/share because they want/need more individual attention and want more flexibility in hours, definitely not because it's cheaper.[/quote]

Nanny offers less flexibility in hours. Nannies need vacation and more days off (illness, emergency) and can only work 8 hours a day. Meanwhile daycare is often open 9-10 hours and is open all days but fed holidays and a winter break. [/quote]
Who told you nannies can work only 8 hrs a day? That’s false.[/quote]

+1. Having done both daycare and then a nanny, nannies offer infinitely more flexibility and far, far less illnesses.  And unlike daycare, when my kids have a cold our nanny is with them rather than me needing to stay home suddenly from work so nanny’s five days of a scheduled vacation are no big deal.

But yes, nannies are expensive and not affordable to everyone.  [/quote]

This is depending upon the nanny. Myself personally I follow the guidelines of daycare if they have a feaver/sick wouldn’t be able to attend daycare/school than I’m off with pay until child is feeling better. I don’t care for sick children and personally the child wants mom not nanny when sick [/quote]
