[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in three outstanding daycare centers before I had children.  I knew I would never put my child in daycare.  When you see behind the curtain, it’s hard to unsee. [/quote]

Why would a nanny be any different?  There’s literally zero oversight, i.e., they’re alone with your child the entire day.

OP, our kids didn’t start childcare until they were one (DH and I did a mix of WFH/baby-watching, and flexed the crap out of our schedules to do so).  But, once we found one we liked and they started, we were very comfortable with it.  You have to find one you’re comfortable with, and there are plenty of bad ones out there.[/quote]

Sure there is oversight for a nanny.  First, you check her references from other parents (not possible with daycare teachers).  Then you install inexpensive cameras (not possible in daycare).  Third, she is in your home and you or partner can drop in at any time (not really possible in most daycares).  Fourth, your neighbors will tell you about how your nanny interacts with your child (never, ever happen in daycare - the teachers are forbidden from ratting on each other).  And lastly, you run a background check on your nanny (which you can’t do with daycare workers).

Nannies earn double what daycare teachers make.  Nannies bond with your child and will love your baby solely.  As loving as daycare teachers can be, the bonds simply aren’t the same.  [b]My nanny would take a bullet for my kids.[/b]  [/quote]

She wouldn’t, but it’s nice that you feel that way. [/quote]

She absolutely would.  You don’t know her.  She would die for my kids.  [/quote]

Does she have kids?  If so, she definitely wouldn’t. [/quote]

No, our nanny doesn’t have her own children.  And she would take a bullet for my kids. [/quote]
