[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went the daycare route with my first and nanny with my twins. Both were fine but I preferred daycare. In daycare, there are multiple people in the room, a director watching the cameras, you and other parents watching the cameras. It felt much more secure than trusting one person with the most important person in the world to me. The twins' nanny was great but I think we got extremely lucky, the majority of nannies I see are totally disengaged - chatting to each other while the kid watches their phone in the stroller. And how are the parents to know? They think their db is out for a lovely stroll with the nanny. [/quote]

I also think it doesn’t get mentioned enough that with daycare it is typically a space designed for small children with safety in mind.  I can see the appeal of a nanny 100%, but when we considered a share this was a huge obstacle for me — the thought of the nanny watching multiple toddlers (or even just one, if disengaged) at playgrounds with big kid structures, etc.  The physical space is usually more foolproof with a daycare.  I don’t discount the value of a really good nanny (I’ve met a couple), but I think it’s a consideration.[/quote]
