[quote=Anonymous]We chose a nanny because: - we have twins. The economics of two in daycare made a nanny comparatively not as expensive as if we only had one child. - I don't have to worry about pick-up and drop-off. I think this is huge for our daily routine. - our kids get tons of individual attention. - the nanny helps with kids' laundry, keeping common areas tidy, etc... I am eternally thankful to have help with those things. - our kids are learning two languages simultaneously (nanny is bilingual) - we're spared some of the sickness issues w/ daycare (germs being passed around, having to stay home anytime a child has a fever, etc...) Cons are: - costs - still more expensive than daycare - very reliant on one person - less socialization for the kids - employing someone in this capacity is uniquely personal and challenging - some stress/cost around paying legally, maintaining appropriate insurance, etc...[/quote]
