[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In theory, having a nanny is fantastic and makes your life much easier. In practice it can be extremely difficult to find a good nanny. Every person I know with a nannies has to deal with at least one incompetent one before finding a decent one. And you usually have to compromise on many things that are important to you. The biggest issue is just general laziness. Playing on a phone is much more appealing than entertaining your kid, and with zero oversight, that’s often what happens. Babies propped in front of TVs or left ignored in cribs are not uncommon. A well regarded daycare is way less risky than a random nanny, but if you can get a personal recommendation for a nanny from someone you know, it’s the best way to find someone. [/quote] You have to hire intelligently and pay well. We got a great nanny the first time interviewing. Some parents just want to pay for a warm body and that’s exactly what they get. [/quote]
