[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a child who has been in daycare, continuing with daycare is best.  Look for a nanny share for your second.[w/quote]

My son will have to transition to new teachers in September in any event. I do think he is used to the routine of daycare. But my point is that he has to make a change anyway. [/quote]

My point was that he’s used to the routine of daycare.  Asking a child at that age to adjust to not only a new sibling but also a switch from daycare to nanny is foolhardy.[/quote]

Foolhardy to have a child adapt from a group care situation outside the home to a 2:1 care with a dedicated provider at his own home?  Oh, please!  The opposite move could be challenging but no child is going to be hurt going from daycare to their own nanny.  [/quote]

It will be a shared nanny, not their own.[/quote]

Big deal-going from group care to a 2:1 ratio would be a positive Change for most kids.  [/quote]

If it's a similar-age child with similar development level, interests and temperament, yes.  Not an infant who is of zero value when it comes to company, and presents various scheduling restrictions without any redeeming value to a 4-year old.   My 4-year old would not appreciate being taken out of his preschool where all his friends and activities are, and getting stuck at home with an infant. [/quote]
