That's not true of daycares outside of downtown.

A babysitter.
Yep, a starter nanny is just your regular inexperienced young sitter.
Sounds like most parents.

I'm not sure I would want one person, who is inexperienced and likely to quit, watching my kid(s) alone. That's what you get with your "starter nanny."

One with less experience.
I think the sweet spot would be a more experienced nanny but a share situation.
No. Trying to split time between two crying babies or sleep routines isn’t better.

See the 2 birds thread about what can happen when institutions posture as “high end”. I would not send a child to daycare if I had other options. But if it has to be daycare all I would care about is transparency, vibes, turnover and how caring the staff appear to be. I would likely end up in a home -based scenario.
