6 months. We are not considering daycare at all because we want individualized attention for baby. But I can’t imagine managing a nanny either. During my parental leave, I spent a lot of time at local parks and just wasn’t that impressed with level of interaction. Everyone talks about the educated trained nanny but a true Mary poppins type is so rare. [/quote]

I was like you, OP. I quit working because I couldn't leave DC at daycare. I ended up on extended leave. Made a job for myself where I worked at home and got a nanny to assist while I was a WAHM. That was the only way that I was able to do it, which ended up being great in the end. Still got to spend lots of time with kids but was also able to earn a living.

I've known and seen a lot of nannies. There's good and bad, of course, like with any field. I just found it was better for my well-being to be a WAHM to oversee nanny and, more importantly, still be present and at home when kids needed me.

Best of luck[/quote]
