[quote=Anonymous]We did the nanny thing to start (full time, no share) and honestly it was stressful. Trying to schedule work around a single person's last-minute schedule changes was not fun and more than once our nanny had car trouble, which meant that we missed getting to work, leading to trickle-down stress, etc etc. With a Nanny share, I can only expect that might be amplified by unpredictable things happening at the other family's home (sickness, delays, etc). For us, daycare and eventually PreK was a better bet - more predictable hours, coverage if the teacher is out sick, no stress around the Nanny's schedule (is she/isn't she going to show up today, etc). If you have some flexibility around your working hours, and can adapt to individual circumstances quickly, a Nanny can be a great option, just didn't work well for us.[/quote]
