[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD is a year old and has been in daycare since she was about 6 months. We're considering having another baby and I'm wondering if there are any moms or dads out there who after having another baby have pulled their toddler out of daycare and instead hired a nanny to take care of both their newborn and the older child? We like the socialization she's getting from her daycare center, but financially it would make more sense for us to hire a nanny as opposed to paying for two children in daycare. By the time the new baby came she would be at the age that we would likely be moving her to a new center anyway, so she would be making a transition either way. Just wondering if anyone has done this and how things are going? Many thanks![/quote] I did it. It was MUCH better for my older child. Daycare is exhausting! Daycare kids keep the same grueling schedule as parents. I simply signed my older up for half day preschool. There is no need for more socialization than that. My older got to have more downtime, more free play, and got to have some say in his day. He also got more varied experiences...different parks, swimming in the summer, little concerts, and went to various play areas. There is soooooooo much to keep them.busy of that is what you want. In hindsight I see no actual value in daycare. Luckily I SAH foe 18mos so my son was only in daycare foe a year. Even now we have an AP now that they are school aged.[/quote]
