[quote=Anonymous]I think for what you will be paying out for daycare for two children, it will be very similar than what a nanny will cost you. Do some research around your area & see what you come up with. :) A four-month old in my opinion is much too young to be in a daycare situation. Much too young. They will not get the one-on-one individualized attention that all infants require. The ratio is typically 1 Adult per 4 Infants which is not good at all. Your baby likely will have to wait his turn to be fed, changed + held. He may spend a lot of the day crying it out. Plus he will be exposed to multiple germs/illnesses, etc. With an in-home nanny, you won't have to wake up a sleeping child, pack their things up then drop them off at daycare. They will have the luxury of sleeping in their own beds, eating in their own high chair as well as playing w/ their own toys & home. For socialization, a nanny can take your child to playgroups, music/dance classes or even to craft activities in your area. Though truthfully, both your children are a bit young to be worrying about social skills. Having a nanny offers flexibility if you are stuck at a meeting or stuck in traffic. Hope this helps![/quote]
