[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will be swapping 1:1 attention for 1:3 or 1:4. Do you like washing many bottles every day? Having a baby with RSV/hand food and mouth/roseola/etc? Dealing with a changing cast of caregivers? Having an overtired baby who doesn’t nap because infant rooms are generally loud and bright and hard for infants to sleep in? Not having your baby’s poops
Changed immediately? Having them lay on a boppy or in a chair or bouncer most of the awake time when they aren’t being fed or diapered? That’s daycare. It’s just exchanging one set of issues for another. Nannies are costly for a reason - it’s why most parent prefer them. But working from home with a nanny and your child is also a special kind of challenge and personally while it was better for my kid it made my work life difficult. Try a home daycare to start - more home like, better ratios, and less institutional. [/quote]

you think some nannies or parents aren't lazy too? Haha

Nannies and home daycares are great, both do tons of learning activities, they talk to the babies all day, play with them. I'm more pro daycare because of the socialization, Everytime I come they are happy playing, learning together and grew up together,they really love each other[/quote]

Young babies don’t need socialization.

A daycare is less expensive because your child doesn’t receive 1-on-1 care.  They are one of many babies.  It’s suboptimal childcare. No one would send their child to daycare if they didn’t have a job and were wealthy. [/quote]

I'm the parent who has a more than a 100k salary and works for the government.

You are Incorrect. 
Children who goes to family Daycares have at least 2 people. Ours had 3, The provider which was a prek teacher, her mom and another assistant. They are lovely people! The babies gets lots of attention and they grow up fine. My son is thriving now at school. I'm so thankful they showed him so much love. 
I'm Maryland they can only have 4 infants max. 
2 teachers for 2 babies.

Centers are worst, the ratio is 3 babies 1 teacher and they can have up to 6 or 8 infants, crazy

Nanny and small family daycares are great! We loved our local daycare! [/quote]

I meant for family daycares ratio is 2 teachers for 4 infants

Centers is 3 infants for 1 teacher, they can have up to 6 or 10 infants[/quote]
