[quote=Anonymous]Hiring a nanny is vilified because everything about parenting is *hard* and people need to feel superior in their choices.

My kid is currently at a daycare center. I can afford a nanny, and I'm thinking about hiring one to try to combat the endless parade of minor illnesses (hence why I'm browsing this forum) and missed work. That said, I also don't know how to trust a relative stranger alone with my baby and I like the accountability of having multiple instructors around at daycare (not judgment for nanny families; more like PPA on my end), nor am I crazy about pulling her from an environment she seems to really love. Part of me would like to stay home, which is doable but I'd be miserable and though not starving, a lot less financially comfortable than I would like to be. It doesn't seem like there's any perfect option. I don't feel the need to do this myself, but I do kind of understand people needing to look down on other options to make their choice feel right. If what you're doing works for you, just ignore the criticism.[/quote]
