This.

Families, if you are planning on putting your kids in daycare please tell potential hires.

Twice I’ve been told a family wanted long term care only to find out a few months in they just needed me until a daycare spot opened.  It’s a waste of my time.[/quote]

Since most daycare/preschool lists can be years long you never know when you will get a spot. It took me two years to get a spot for my oldest and 6 months to get a spot for my youngest. Nannies must assume that kids are going to go to school at some point (typically sometime when they are between 2 and 4 years old). [/quote]

There’s a huge difference between daycare and preschool or kindergarten.  Nannies plan on the slow transition to a few hours of preschool 1-2 days per week starting around 2, then increasing every year until kinder.[/quote]

This depends largely on where you live. Where we are, I do not personally know of anyone who has kept a nanny after the start of school (somewhere between age 2 and 3) unless there was a new baby involved. Kids are typically in nannyshares from 4-6 months until the fall after the second birthday, and then they go to preschool. Occasionally parents wait a year and start school after the third birthday, but nobody transitions into school unless they have a SAHP--it's far too expensive in our area. I'm sure there are other areas (probably higher income communities) where this is more common, though.[/quote]

Our neighborhood has nannies for over a decade.  Sports and after school activities as well as the countless school holidays.
