I be, and will always choose, a good nanny over daycare.

You never know with a daycare either.


What's the point of all this fearmongering? Y'all just sit around and trade barbs about nannies or daycares, but not really doing anything about actually improving childcare in your area. You can advocate for high quality universal pre-ks for all kids, and also advocate better working conditions for nannies and daycare employees, or even get involved with coops or boards...but that would require more energy than fomenting unnecessary drama on DCUM.


Likewise, PP. It looks like you're not out this morning picketing to improve conditions for daycare workers, you're too busy stirring up more drama on DCUM.


I'm on my daycare's board and have advocated for a salary increase and transit subsidies at every appropriate meeting. I'm actually pointing out things we can do that extend beyond the boring daycare vs. nanny vs. SAHM debate. All of this is pretty doable for individuals and doesn't require us to picket every morning or even run for office. It does require that we stop dragging other parents for their choices.
