[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep trying for a nanny share--I bet there's a family out there who either has a big enough house for the kids not to be a disruption to the day, or who prefer not to pack up the kids and get them out of the house. I'm a nanny and there's one day a week where I bring the kids to my place which is a fun diversion from the same ol' same ol'. I've done shares full time at my place in the past because both moms were post part and the dads worked from home. If you really want a nanny share, I promise there's a way to make it work. Every pot has a lid. [/quote]

OP here. I don’t really like the idea of a nanny share. Dropping my child off at a strangers home doesn’t make me feel right. Working with strangers to come up with logistics such as hours, pay, vacation, etc. Trying to find a family who follows similar parental philosophies, etc., can be tough. I’d rather my child be in daycare with lots of hands and cameras I can see. I had full access to cameras and an app at the old daycare. [/quote]

OP, w/all due respect I am shocked that you are more comfortable having your child in a daycare vs. staying home w/a private Nanny.

How would a Nanny be a stranger yet the childcare workers not be?
Weren’t they strangers initially??
Also, yes more hands available but also more kids to attend to.
Your child will never get the care & attention that they will need.

I think you prefer daycare because it is cheaper.
Once you have your second child, having a Nanny will cost the same or even less than putting two kids in daycare.[/quote]
