[quote=Anonymous]I know several people who chose daycare over a nanny even though money was no issue at all. Right or wrong, nannies have a can have a bad reputation for being unreliable, inattentive, demanding and a big hassle. The fact that nannies are completely unsupervised throughout their day really bothers some parents and they don't want to hassle with a nanny cam. In a good daycare, you have not only the teachers in the class to depend on but directors and other staff who set guidelines, supervise caregivers, ensure activities are happening etc. With the exception of the occasional once a year field, the activities at daycare are on sight. Many have really nice playgrounds and the kids have automatic playmates. With a nanny, you run the risk of the kids being driven in a car or not watched at a public park.

Personally, I preferred having a nanny but I'm more laid back. The convenience of not dealing with drop off or pick up was huge. It was also great not to miss work if the kids had a cold. With a nanny my kids actually caught more colds but recovered faster because it was no big deal for them to stay in and rest for a few days. [/quote]
