[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me more about cons of a nanny, pls, except cost. Not talking about a young person in the park bringing your kid to the park for 10-15 min, then strapping them back in the stroller and heading for the mall with friends, but "the real thing". The one who arrives on time every day, does planned activities, goes to the park for 2 hrs, then hot lunch and a nap, who adores your child and they love her back. So, what are the cons?[/quote]

My mother watched my kid for the first 12 months and was adamant we put DC in daycare instead of hire a nanny when she had to depart.

She saw nannies at the park every day and found the majority to be mediocre (did not speak to the kid, watched movies on their phone, gossiped with other nannies while leaving babies strapped in strollers) or downright negligent (my mom interfered multiple times to help young toddlers in her vicinity whose nannies weren't paying attention).

At least at daycare there are multiple responsible adults around and controlled/safer environments.

Let's be honest: most caregivers (daycare workers AND nannies alike) do not "love" their charges. They keep them alive and safe and make the minimum effort required. [/quote]
