Anyone had to fire their nanny? 3 Years, 8 Months ago
I'm on my third since June. Never before have I had trouble - I have a very good interview process that has provided us with three terrific girls in the past. This year, two bad hires and the verdict is still out on the third. Anyone?

I'm not sure we could quite afford a dedicated nanny, but even if we were able to do so, I think there's a great deal to be said for the social benefits that the group environment of a good daycare can have. Our daycare - we call it school when talking to our little boy - is a very well-structured setup with learning & physical activities and has scheduled snack times, lunch, and naps. It's far beyond a babysitter - more like a pre-pre-pre-Kindergarten.<br><br>Our 2 year-old son's vocabulary and overall learning has skyrocketed since we enrolled him back in April. His recognition of colors, shapes, letters (but oddly, not numbers) is quite a bit ahead of that of other similarly-aged kids we know who are mostly kept at home or in a single caregiver setting. Although it could just be that he's predisposed to picking certain things up early, I really believe the credit lies with the fantastic ladies at the daycare. They're really well-organized, interactive, and caring.
