[quote=Anonymous]I was afraid to hire a nanny for the same reasons. But now I love my nanny and totally trust her. Do I trust other nannies (including the back-up we hired in a pinch) - nope. But my nanny is lovely and I don't worry at all while I'm work. The other commenter is right - meeting the real candidates & talking to their references makes a world of difference.

And day care- well, that's no guarantee! I initially enrolled my 3MO in a very expensive, well-regarded day care, but I was not satisfied with the level of care provided. Was my baby going to be beaten to death at the day care- most certainly not, but that's a pretty low bar. The level of care that my nanny provides is far, far better than what was provided at day care. It wasn't that the people at day care didn't care, they just didn't have enough hands or time to provide the same level of care to my child, because they were watching 4 infants at once!

For me the nanny (in a nanny share) was the way to go. And I have much better peace of mind with the nanny then I did with the day care, which I never would have thought possible because I had the same thoughts as your partner.
