[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between a share and a daycare is going to be in what a nanny specifically can offer.  [/quote]

None of what you list is what the nanny offers, it's all about what the parents provide or direct/request.

Tons of daycare offer home-made, organic food. With the mainstreaming of organic food, it became a pretty common marketing point. And not all parents are anti-goldfish.

15-month olds do not belong at Smithsonian, it's just parental whims. Besides, balancing three kids between one caregiver on a field trip is a PITA - you'd need three carseats, a triple stroller, a big-enough car, and a day when all three of them are up to it.  With so much negotiation and logistics involved, it's tempting not to bother.   Big excursions with three kids aged 15 monts are certainly not going to happen daily. You'd be lucky enough to have all three napping at the same time daily.

Like there are no neighborhood daycares?

[quote=Anonymous]Want your kid climbing trees and hiking in nature?  Daycares have a LOT of limits imposed on what they can let kids do, but a nanny with the right background can provide lots of outdoor "risky" play. [/quote]

How will you supervise all three kids engaged in risky play at the same time?[/quote]
