Child
Care Advice from the Experts
Should
I place my children in a
day care center, or hire
a nanny?
When
deciding on the best child
care for your family, write
down the pros and cons of
each option. Do a little
homework, and the better
solution for your situation
will be clear.
If
finances are a primary consideration,
day care is usually the
way to go for a family with
one child. When there are
2 or more children, or a
child with special needs,
fees for a center or a nanny
are comparable. Sometimes
two families will "nanny-share"
to reduce each family's
burden.
How
often are your children
usually sick? How many days
on average are children
absent due to illness at
the day care you are considering?
Visit the school between
5 and 6pm, so you can have
the opportunity to chat
with other parents.
Think
about your back-up plan
for school closings, snow
days, sick childcare. What
will you do if the day care
calls you at work at 10am,
and reports a fever, requiring
you to leave work and take
your child home. Do you
have family who can pitch
in? Does your employer offer
this flexibility? Families
who employ nannies do not
face this issue.
When
you hire a nanny, especially
if you work with an agency,
you should receive a complete
portfolio on each applicant.
Ask the school if you can
review the perspective care
givers credentials, including
her references from previous
employers, and criminal
record reports. Did she
have a pre-employment physical
and drug screening?
What
educational training do
the caregivers have? Are
they first aid and CPR certified?
How
far away is the center?
If you opt for a day care
center, what time will you
and the children need to
wake up to prepare for the
day? If you have a nanny,
what time will you need
to wake up to prepare for
the day? (The kids can awake
on their own schedule, and
nap on their schedule as
well.)
Most
importantly, what is your
gut telling you? Do you
have a 3 year old who needs
socialization skills? Do
you have infant twins who
you'd prefer to not have
to bundle up each morning
for day care? Do you have
school aged children who
need a ride to and from
private school, as well
as care on school closings?
Each family is different,
and each family's needs
are different. As long as
your decision is made with
your heart, your gut and
your head, you will come
to the best decision for
your family.
