[quote=Anonymous]Team,

Don't be lazy parents.  The actions this pre-k nanny performed can be done with a well-planned parent to nanny checklist.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a good, educated nanny was important to DH and me even though he had started a PhD program and I was earning about 150k a year.  We used our savings to pay for our nanny for those three years.  By the time my DD started preschool and aftercare, she was leap years ahead of her classmates thanks to our nanny as well as being a very happy and secure little kid.  Gratefully, our nanny has stayed in my DD’s life and is a beloved family friend.

So, yes - it can be done only if you have substantial savings and make it a priority. [/quote]

This was us. We had nannies for about 8 years. It put a big dent in our savings, but it was so worth it.[/quote]

Same!  I was still in school and DH wasn’t making more than 150 a year.  We used our savings and my bonus from the service to pay for a wonderful nanny who was a former preschool teacher.  DS started preK so far ahead of his peers and was so independent and ready for school thanks to our nanny.  She found and took advantage of every free story time, concert, dance recital, puppet show and playgroup she could find.  Plus she read to him all the time and always engaged him in appropriate play.

The first years truly are the most important.  80% of all brain synapses are created for his entire life.  I just couldn’t see him with a cheaper nanny who treated him like a sack of potatoes or having chaos and lots of caregivers in a daycare.  [/quote]'
