[quote=Anonymous]My 3 have always gone to daycare, but we do not live in an area where professional nannies are a thing. I would have preferred the nanny route, but the candidates we found either no call no showed for the interview, requested to bring their own child(ren) with them, or otherwise raised flags. Our youngest is starting K next year, but the constant sickness is really rough during the infant / 1 year old ages. Also, our first two started kindergarten pre covid- daycare staffing and ratios for them were so much more consistent. Now my son has a revolving door of teachers, and even though it is an expensive Montessori school, it is essentially babysitting. Daycares everywhere have experienced crazy shortages and turnover since then. Our school used to guarantee 1:3 for infants (which meant 3 teachers for 7 babies from 8-4, to accommodate breaks). Now it is a lot more leanly staffed [/quote]
