[quote=Anonymous]Well, as you're seeing here - there are some reasons why people prefer daycare. We opted for a nanny because it was at least competitive with the cost of daycare (for twins in our case). Having a nanny also means we don't have to worry about drop-off/pickup routines, don't have to pack lunches and clothing every day, don't have to deal w/ teacher education days, don't have every single available germ being brought into our house, etc... Plus our kids get amazing attention, the house is kept tidy, someone else does the bulk of the kid's laundry, etc... It's a total lifesaver for me. What I think we sacrifice with choosing a nanny over daycare is coverage when a primary caregiver is sick, socialization w/ other kids, daily routinized/designed play and education plans, and some structuring of time/naps/meals that can be helpful.
