[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Weirdly, my kid is going through a phase where she calls me by my first name.  We think she's copying her dad.  And no, that doesn't bother me - she'll either grow out of it or decide she wants to call me mama.

We did do daycare for the older one - and we loved it.  My daughter seemed to like it better too. And we had a nanny before that, and we liked it fine, but it was way more work for me - the house was never as clean as when I left it, and my kid didn't progress nearly as quickly as she did when we switched to daycare.

Anyways, we are looking at the $35/hour nannies now that my extremely lengthy maternity leave is ending, but it seems the higher in price we go, the more the nannies have questions about perks, days off, etc. - and they aren't particularly impressive when I ask about activities they plan on doing, meal prep, etc.

I think I might just be a daycare mom, and I'm good with that.  If I'm paying $35/hour, I expect a college-educated, completely fluent in English, good interviewer, and I'm not seeing that.  I certainly wouldn't want any of the dolts above in my home.
