[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents bond, nannies are caretakers.  She sounds good if she's supervising and keeping them safe.[/quote]

Not even close to being enough for me and my children.  I want (and have) a nanny who is engaging, playful, happy, and loving.  If I just wanted them to be alive when I got home, I’d send them to daycare.  [/quote]

Having a nanny isn’t always better than day care but keep telling yourself that.  You want your kids to have socialization.  Day care is better for that and will prepare your oldest for school. [/quote]

Having a great nanny is better than the best daycare.  A great nanny can do everything a great daycare can do plus lots of extras - extra attention, extra reading, extra play, homemade food, quiet home environment, etc.  There are ample opportunities for a great nanny to socialize your child in play groups, play dates, storytimes, even just the park without your baby forced to listen to other screaming babies and teething toddlers.  [b]This is just a fact, PP, not an opinion[/b].  A ghost educated and experienced nanny has a better skill set than even most parents.

That said - if you cannot find it afford a great nanny, a great daycare beats a bad or mediocre nanny hands down.  [/quote]

It is absolutely an opinion.  It might be a fairly popular opinion, but it is an opinion nonetheless.  There absolutely are people who prefer daycare for a variety of reasons, even when cost is not an issue.[/quote]

Then what would be the variety of reasons? [/quote]
NP here: We chose a lovely in-home daycare over a nanny for a variety of reasons:
-I didn’t want to be someone’s employer that had to deal with sick leave, taxes, etc. Instead I wanted to pay for a service. That meant less stress for me, which, in turn made me a better parent for my child. 
-I wanted the socialization that comes with being with other children. 
-The daycare was located 10 minutes from my work. [/quote]

Sorry but you chose an in home daycare. That screams it boiled down to money. A great nanny can absolutely socialize your kids. [/quote]

It is no different than a nanny share in the other house except the home day care should be licensed and monitored and a nanny is not.  [/quote]

You have internet access to see your in-home daycare?  That is rare. Nannies in 2019 are generally always monitored.  [/quote]
