[quote=Anonymous]While it is true that more men have been known to abuse or sexually assault young children than women, I would never pick any daycare for preverbal children that only had one care provider in the room, male or female.  This is one of the reasons we went with a center, because the center always required two teachers per room of up to six children.  The center we chose had a director and an assistant director who both worked every day and if there was an emergency where a teacher had to leave before the children were gone, one would go into the room and provide backup for the remaining teacher.

As for a nanny, we actually interviewed nannies for our twins, but realized that even with care.com background checks, we were not completely comfortably with an unknown watching our children when they were young.  Had a nanny (male or female) been recommended by another family that we knew, we would have been fine.  But too many bad stories nowadays.  After the children were able to talk, I would have been less wary.

So for me, it is not the sex of the teacher, but the appropriate safeguards.[/quote]
