[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare has it's own host of problems, like the kids (2 and 3 year olds) taking a neighborhood walk, with no teacher in sight. There is no easy solution here with child care. [/quote]

don't be silly. 2 and 3 yr old in day care do not walk by themselves in any neighborhood. have you ever seen something like that? if so, I am sure you stopped the kids, called the police immediately and stayed with them until the police arrived. I am also sure the daycare lost the license if they let the kids go out like that alone. my kids have been going to days care since 2005 (the youngest is in her last year), and nothing similar to that has ever happened.

As long as you keep calling people names, you should be a  big girl and shut up and take it when people call you names back.
 Or you can stop it, and make some effort to engage yourself in some adult conversation.

I am 22:02. I do not understand this post. I did not call anybody names, and nobody called me names, so I do not understand what I should learn to take. I am an adult and thought I was having an adult conversation. this is why I pointed out that the situation mentioned by the poster (is this you?) was ridiculous, because no decent licensed daycare in DC let 2 and 3 yr kids walk by themselves in the neighborhood. if something like that had happened, it should have been reported to the police immediately.  I asked the poster whether she witnesses something like that, and if she did, what did she do about it, since it was a situation that clearly required the police's intervention.  BTW, I see that the poster did not respond to my question. [/quote]

I'm a new poster, but I've seen stories about that sort of thing happening not infrequently - a child forgotten in the bathroom after the daycare was closed for the night, kids wandering off, etc. However, I also think PPs reply was completely out of line and also saw no name calling. You were responding like an adult and she wasn't.

The fact remains that there are no daycares that can provide the level of supervision a nanny can, but that doesn't mean a nanny is always the right choice (nor does it mean that ANY nanny is the right choice). I'm sorry you got burned by a terrible nanny but I do think writing off the entire field is unfair - I've been burned by terrible teachers, doctors, and policemen but I keep faith there are good ones out there. But if a daycare is what works for you, that's wonderful! Just know that there are loving, attentive, professional nannies out here too. :)[/quote]
