[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read through the whole thread but my husband and I don’t have anyone to watch our kids either- last year we discovered Franklyn D Resort in Jamaica and seriously our lives are changed. Each room comes with a nanny and you can get two if it makes you more comfortable. They work 8 hours a day and are available for night babysitting too. Honestly I have not spent so much time with DH since our daughter was born three years ago. We went last May for a week, and we are returning in February for another week. We are going back with three other families we met there the first time. 
It’s not a super glitzy glamorous resort but it is very authentic Jamaican and awesome. You see the owner every day. One of our nannies had worked there for 19 years and the other one for 23. 
I realize that sounded like a commercial- haha! But seriously that place was the best. FYI when we went in May our kids were 9 months and 2.5. [/quote]

NO WAY would I leave my non verbal child with a stranger in a foreign country. There is little regulatory oversight in a country like Jamaica and little recourse if something goes wrong. That is crazy. [/quote]

Haha, crazy? You sound a little crazy. Have you EVER left a non verbal child with a babysitter? Do you work?

You need to work on your reading comprehension. The full statement was non verbal kid with a stranger IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY. A country that has little regulation and oversight of anything, let alone childcare workers. My children were left with caregivers who were licensed and qualified in a country with strong oversight and enforcement, at a facility that has regulations of their own and insurance. Some of y'all will leave your kids with anyone. [/quote]
