[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t.  Those who use daycare do so because they can’t afford a nanny.

A couple years ago, I had a profile on care.com with my rate clearly stated.  I had one mother call me and say she saw my profile and was exactly what they were looking for “… but I’m not paying x an hour!”  I actually laughed and said “then I’m not working for you”. I always wondered why she even went through the trouble to seek me out.  [/quote]

Absolutely not true. We can afford a nanny but prefer daycare especially when  those who call out sick a lot leave parents in the lurch
Also I will say same goes for parents. We are also finding everyone and their mother wants to be a nanny since the pandemic. And not all those who post should

Your situation is very rare.  It’s a question of group care vs individual care.  The vast, vast majority of people who can afford individual care for their babies would choose it.

And for the record, our nanny has never once called in sick.  But my sister’s daycare has closed with hours notice for weeks at a time several times over the last two years.  [/quote]
