[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 7 years of nannies I learned that nannies are not raising their own kids. Nothing off their nose if your kid learns abc a little later, is not as articulate, etc. Anyone who says otherwise is either paying lip service or wants to but at the end of the day, can’t/won’t put in the extra 10% to get it done at the end of a long day.

Pp is right. You can’t outsource everything but I did put my younger in a structured all day Montessori as soon as my older started all day kindergarten. It cost the same as a nanny. [/quote]

Then you didn’t have a good nanny.  A good nanny incorporates obvious learning several times per day.  A great nanny challenges a child to grow to the best of their ability, although through play for the younger years.  Now, a nanny isn’t a miracle worker, so a late talker may not be articulate at 24 months even if the nanny narrated everything from birth.  However, if the nanny is simply not trying?  You have a sitter or subpar nanny. [/quote]
