[quote=Anonymous]This isn't really about money but responding to your comment that daycare is "more comprehensive."

IMO, that depends on the age of your kids. For a baby, I personally find a nanny or nanny share to be preferable for the 1:1 or 1:2 attention, home setting, lack of exposure to illness, IF and this is a big if, you find a great nanny. Pricewise, a nanny share is not functionally all that much more than a daycare, especially at the price you quote, particularly if you don't need overtime.

On the flip side, the nice thing about daycare would be that if you pick one and like it, your child could potentially stay until they go to kindergarten if it has a preschool component.

We went the nanny share then our own nanny route and now I find myself with a 2 and 4-year-old trying to determine whether I want to pay for part-time preschool for 2 on top of our nanny ($$$$$) or put them in a full-time preschool and hunt for two all-day spots. Childcare is such a moving target.

You will find something that works for your budget and the environment you want for your child! [/quote]
