[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your child? A 1 month old needs very different kinds of care than a 3 year old.[/quote] 6 months. We are not considering daycare at all because we want individualized attention for baby. But I can’t imagine managing a nanny either. During my parental leave, I spent a lot of time at local parks and just wasn’t that impressed with level of interaction. Everyone talks about the educated trained nanny but a true Mary poppins type is so rare. [/quote] A family member or family friend is far less likely to be a nanny poplins type and far more likely to just bring your kid along on their life - running errands, watching tv, cooking dinner, cleaning the house- while your child just sits and watches nearby or plays. With a nanny or daycare, there is the expectation that it’s a job and the child is the focus of the job and not just a sidekick for them to lug around.[/quote]
