I am extremely lucky to own a buisness with my husband where my kids can stay home with me. However, I do send my now 4 year old to day care part time and have since last year. The reason being, she wasnt getting the interaction with other children that I thought she needed. After being at this in-home day care for a year at 3 years old she can spell and almost write her own name and can count to 20. Not saying its for everyone, but a day care was in my situation was the best decision.
I think interaction with other children their own age, lets them learn and socialize easier. JMO

Don't let anyone dish out a load of crap, read it for yourself.

Thanks for that link... I'm going to read it all. I wasn't at the meeting, but it was the one that is held by the licensing people. Maybe she misunderstood. It seemed like a very intrusive process the way she explained it, but I'll look into it more.

We've had au pairs for three years now. Nannies typically make more $ than au pairs but they usually do more housework. Au pairs are girls between 18 and 26 years old from other counties that go through a Department of State program to come here for up to two years. The cost for the au pair is usually split - with the agency getting half what you pay and the au pair getting the other half. It's a total of about $15K/year and it's worth it if you have more than one child (they care for up to four children). While it can be a bit burdensome going through the au pair program and agency fees, it's easier in many regards (i.e., we don't have to withhold taxes or find health insurance).
