[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me more about cons of a nanny, pls, except cost. Not talking about a young person in the park bringing your kid to the park for 10-15 min, then strapping them back in the stroller and heading for the mall with friends, but "the real thing". [b]The one who arrives on time every day, does planned activities, goes to the park for 2 hrs, then hot lunch and a nap, who adores your child and they love her back. [/b]So, what are the cons?[/quote]

[b]You as the parent are solely responsible for hiring and managing this person who may or may not deliver what they promise. [/b]In a child care center, a director hires and oversees staff, takes care of background checks and gets checked on by licensing.

You are relying on one person who can get sick and is entitled to take time off. In a good child care center they have extra staff to ensure compliance with ratios when staff are out sick.

Your children will be in your home with you if you work from home. If your children are at daycare then your home will be much quieter.[/quote]

I think you’re overestimating what this entails.  I doubt it’s that different than communications with a daycare center.  We have a great nanny and the employer aspect has never been a problem.  [/quote]
