[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would always choose an educated and experienced nanny.  The one-on-one attention in the first three years is vitally important for development.  We really sacrifice to have a nanny who is a former preschool teacher and she engaged DD since she was born with narration, singing, reading and finger-play.  DD's receptive communication was off-the-charts amazing by the time she was four months old.  And she was a very, very early talker.  Nanny has found classes and story times for her, runs a playgroup and has her at playdates - something every day to keep her engaged.

DD is a very polite, bright and very cooperative e little girl at 2.5 now - because of our nanny.  And her vocabulary is truly amazing because nanny never talks down to her the way that daycare teachers have to in order to be understood by all of the children.  DD also loves books and Nanny has the ability to read to her for over an hour a day - and always has - which is simply not possible in daycare.  DD has an amazing imagination and is just a very happy, loving and well adjusted kid.

DD was accepted into a great preschool for the fall.  During our interview, the administrator asked a lot of questions about our nanny and DD's schedule.

The first five years are the most important in your child's life.  My advice would be to spend the money now rather than later.  [/quote]

Thank you for your response, I am seeing how it would totally be worth spending the money on a well qualified nanny. -op[/quote]
