[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you see a different in what kind of parent sends their kid to daycare versus hires a nanny versus stays at home?[/quote]

Mostly class differences.

In my experience, parents who send their kids to daycare are working class, parents who have a SAHP are middle class and parents with a nanny are upper class.

A lot of the decisions with what to do for childcare depends on income, not wishes or wants, unfortunately.[/quote]
IME, working class sends to cheap in-home, probably not licensed, or uses "kith and kin" care, middle class sends to daycare centers or SAH, upper class does nannies. [/quote]

Some of the worst kids I've worked with had nannies in the early years. Often they didn't do well in a group situation, and seemed to have more behavior problems.  When you exclaim you have a "nanny" it translates as a poor connotation.  
 
I haven’t had this experience. I imagine, though, it must depend on the quality of care the nanny and daycare are providing and the ages of the kids involved. Individual attention is important and that can be lacking at some daycares.
