[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.

Not to me.  The kids in you preK class (private school) all had good nannies and were bright and well socialized.  It all depends on what you call a nanny.  There are nannies and housekeepers-who-babysit.  [/quote]
