nanny vs creche

Ps. I just have to add, we play with friends a lot after work or on weekends. So she is exposed to germs all the time. We also have two dogs, which speaks for itself.

I have tried to limit N being with sick children or adults, because I do not like her being sick. If the nanny is sick, I take off work and send her home. This has only happened about twice.

Memo, I am very pro-nanny BUT I hunted for a nanny since I fell pregnant. I found one, did not like her, found another, did not like her and third was a charm! Agnes started with us when I was about five months pregnant. We got to know and trust each other. Then we were together when I was on maternity leave for four months. I HATED leaving my child but I knew she could not be in better hands.

N loves her nanny, she is SO stimulated. She counts till 12, knows all her colours, have a fabulous sense of humour, is a pleasant child and just fun to be with. I have had the luxury of popping in throughout the day, my work is very flexible.

I realize she is getting older now and needs friends. I am taking her to a playschool next year for half day.

It's a difficult decision to make and I think the person you have in mind plays a big role. I was very blessed with my nanny. Yes, she comes in late, which makes ME late, she sometimes frustrated me but she is an angel and wonderful with N.
