Childcare center vs. home daycare vs. private nanny?
Posted by adminJul 29
I need help with childcare in January. I will be starting a job, after staying home with my children , their whole lives. We are trying to get financial assistance for children care, so for the sake of this question, let’s pretend that we are able to afford any of these options. I pretty much know the pro’s and con’s of each, but I am still unable to decide. If you have tried more than one option for your family, could you let me know which type of childcare suited your family best, and the up’s and downs in getting to that decision? (Example: started with daycare, but exposed to too many kids, then tried smaller home daycare, and it is great!)
Thank you for any advice you can give me on choosing the appropriate option for my children.
Ages- 18 mos,3 yrs,5 yrs and 8 years- after school care.

i am pregnant with my first child right now, so I dont have any kids yet, but I worked in a public daycare, which was awful. There were too many kids and the children were hearded around like animals. But I worked for 4 years as a private nanny for 2 different families and that was wonderful. When the children couldnt be with their mommy, they got to be cared for by the second best. It still felt like home to them and they felt loved and comforatable. I would say, although much more pricier, this would be the best bet for your children. Good luck!!

If you can afford it – have a private nanny – they will be in their home environment and much happier without too much interruption to their daily routine (as it will be changing without you there) If not chose a small home daycare centre
