[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for your replies. I have visited over 20 daycares the past 2 years as it was not initially clear when I would return to work. It's a complicated story but there were many times when I thought I was going back and had to search for a daycare only to find out from my job that I had to wait a few more months which turned into 2 years. I've loved this time together with him and since he is used to being home with his mom, I'd prefer he stay at home with a nanny. He had a lot of medical issues early on, currently thriving but I'm a little more protective of him for this reason. I appreciate the daycare suggestions but I've read the studies and more importantly I know what type of child I have. My husband and I both know he would not do well in daycare, for reasons that I'd prefer not getting into on this forum.

I don't mind play dates coming over the house. Surely not all nannies want to leave the house or have transportation to do this? Is this assumption incorrect? My husband would do the daycare drop off/pick up 2x/week but we may wait until he is 3 years old to start part time daycare. Yes I have had a fantastic occasional babysitter who he adores but she has other commitments. I'm confident we can find someone like her who I can trust. She took him out for walks around the block but I was always home. And there was only one baby to look after, soon there will be two. I guess a competent, professional nanny is able to care for 2 but I have no experience with this as of yet. I'm willing to do whatever it takes for the nanny and children to be comfortable during the day and its not that I don't trust the nanny it's the crazy people out there. [/quote]
