Happy Friday, ladies!
With #2 on the way, I'm starting to debate whether it makes sense to hire a nanny instead of having 2 in daycare. If you have 2, do you have them in daycare, or use a nanny? Why?
Also, I have no idea how to even research/find a nanny, so if anyone knows of a resource I'd appreciate it!
TIA!
Re: daycare vs. nanny
The other pros on our list:
- Stability of having a team of people watch them vs one person who might get sick or flake out.
- Nobody at our house during the day. No messes left to clean up, no extra power used for lights, heat, A/C, etc.
- More interaction with other kids at daycare. This would happen with a nanny but not necessarily at the same level they have in a daycare class.
I know care.com has nannies listed but we have a friend who is a nanny who would probably have been ours if we had decided to go that route. GL in whatever you decide!

We also do 2 in daycare. A is in preschool, going into PreK this next year. I like the social intereaction a daycare/preschool allows.
Plus, I work from home and on the few times I've had to work with them here, it just doesn't work to well. I have a separate office, but with glass french doors, they would still want to come in all the time.
