[quote=Anonymous]OP at first I thought this was really important. I couldn’t afford to be a SAHM (needed my health insurance) so we did a nanny while I worked from home and it was great. Baby had multiple attentive caregivers. I couldn’t imagine bringing my 4 month old to daycare. But then my dd turned one and it was so clear she needed more than nanny or we could offer her. She needed other kids, she needed the change of scenery, she needed the structure of learning new skills and tasks in “school.” I really think the countries that provide a year of maternity leave get it right. I’m glad I didn’t quit my job now that I have a toddler, but doing he first year without also juggling work would have been wonderful. [/quote]
