[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a nanny almost every employer I've had has told me they hired a nanny because it's so much cheaper then daycare. But if you only have 1 child I can understand it being a little higher.[/quote]

OP here. We only have one child. With taxes, breedlove fees, and bonus, we pay about $1,000 a week[/quote]

How old would your child be at the point he/she would start daycare? By 2, s/he might enjoy it, really, and by 3, s/he almost certainly will enjoy it. We have a bunch of kids and stuck with the nanny, but by the time they are 3.5, it has been clear to me that they would do just as well at preschool/daycare with friends.[/quote]

He'd be about 18 months when we would switch[/quote]

He's too little!  Wait, OP.  Poor little guy is used to the 1:1 attention he has gotten from his nanny since birth.

You can make more sacrifices than you think you can, OP.  [/quote]

OP, don't listen to the nanny trolls. 18 months is perfectly fine for a good daycare. He will want to be around other kids. Plenty of people put their much younger infants in daycare with no problem. [/quote]

I am the PP and neither a nanny nor a troll.  I think 18 months is too young to switch from a nanny to daycare.  If the child has always been in daycare that is a totally separate circumstance - the baby knows nothing different.  OP is talking about a little guy who only knows one-on-one care and probably loves his nanny.  18 months is too young to rock his world and sense of security.  Even preschools have "parent and me" programs for children under two because they are too young to separated from their mother/nanny.
