[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the fence, really, because of the posts by nannies here who seem so entitled.  I have unlimited funds for childcare but what I really need is someone to make my life easier, not harder.  While there's a perk of no drop-off and pick-up, someone is also in my house all day so that totally offsets that benefit.

Are there any WFH parents who have found their nannies to be worth it (assuming we are paying on the higher end of DC rates)?  I'm suspecting that most WOH parents have no clue what's going on anyways so not at all interested in those opinions.  I ask because I've had a few weeks off while my older toddler's school is out before summer session and it's been quite the eye-opener seeing the level of interaction and care provided by nannies.  I'm not deluding myself that daycare is better but at least many of them don't allow phone usage, and there are more people around at least.

I look like my toddler's nanny, so before anyone gets upset about how I'd know who the nannies are, it's because several approached me to chat and I pretended to be a nanny. [/quote]

There's also lazy moms at the park. Her child is hitting other siblings and she's on her phone.

There's bad both sides. Mom and Dads too...

Nanny: More individualized attention to the child. Is better for kids who needs more attention. Nannies are like preschool teachers. Kids are always learning all the time, good manners, use nice words, eat healthy. Nannies provides that and take the kids to socialize, parties, birthdays,etc at the park.

What I love from the nanny groups they protect any child from harm even if it's not their charge. Always protect a child even if it's not yours.

Family childcare: It's nice too. The problem is FCC and centers especially 
tends to not have enough staff. I worked there. All centers are the same.
Careful with some providers, I met one that was feeding frozen meat with mold. I trash it to the trash. Me and the other assistant didn't see it was right. We didn't care the boss was upset. She has to learn to not give out of date food to children.

Early child caregivers takes good care of children. They have patience and provides good discipline to children. Nannies, teachers and even assistants do a lot of work. Assistants acts like teachers too. Every time a caregiver is talking to the kid or the child is freely playing, exploring is learning. They are always learning.

Always treat good to your good nannies, teachers, assistants. Give gifts to the assistants too, they do the same as a teacher. Takes care of the childdren.[/quote]
