Live-in nannies seem better as they integrate better with the family and don't have any other task apart from looking after your child. but the professional ones may have up to 20 kids at a go and there will be allegiance to the child they like for one reason or the other or the kind of relationship/treatment from the parents. I once heard that some professional nannies drug troublesome children to sleep so that they can have peace of mind and when you return to pick them, you will just see your child as calm as cucumber and they will be telling you he/she has been very co-operative whereas behind the calmness is the effect of sleeping drug. You can now imagine if sleeping drug is being given to your child on a daily basis. |

My honest opinion is none. If you have the means, take care of your children yourself or get their grand parents or close family.

numericalguy: I wish you would properly read and digest my points before you jump and attack. I am saying men are not dogs contrary to what some of the men here are saying and projecting. I am saying Men are Men with a brain and not animals like some one here was saying. Men think of the consequences of their actions they dont just pounce on any woman close by. Please dont be quick to rush and insult, understand the context. I was actually saying men with low morals should stop roping other men into their issues as most men are responisble 6 Likes |

A live in nanny is better cos. You don't have to go through the daily risk of logistics to and from a creche Your nanny can develop a good bond that allows proper care. Afterall she is handling just one child, unlike daycares. It's better she is of grandma age cos that was she has experience and less distractions. Give her he weekend off or has she desires. Also from my experience its better she eats and sleeps in the house, like everybody else. |

There no advantage or disadvantage that makes one better than the other. I have had live in nannies and I can tell you most are a horror. They either feel indispensable or begin to look at Oga ( thinking why can't they be the wife and have their own nannies). I always ensured wifey does the selection with no input from me, I never interact with them on any level, if I want something I call my wife to get it and she gets my point. Jus Be careful wishing you the best. |

I prefer live in any day. Even if the nanny is trying to do something they don't like to them, they will be able to resist or say no more when they are in their own home than in a daycare. They know where the phone is to call me or daddy should anything go wrong. There are friendly and nosy neighbours around who will let me know if my baby cries unnecessarily when I'm gone. As for child abuse, its not limited to only day care centres. There are many stories of nannies that abuse the children when no one is at home. I started working as a live in nanny/ sleep over nanny at 19yrs.(The mum works shifts as a doctor). The law was simple, no boyfriends, smoking, drinking or immoral acts in the house. I had my own insurance. I ate with the family, I got hired through an agency and had to provide 3 references which were thoroughly checked. The equivalent of what I was paid is roughly $1600 monthly (considering the amount of inflation between now and then) Age isn't what matters but strength and experience. All things being equal, I'll prefer someone between 18-36 provided she agrees to my rules Hope this helps 2 Likes |

bigheart2013: No be today. Poster posts mostly on how bad Nigerian Women are, she has been called out before. If not see all the valuable advice she got she didnt even say thank you she came and was more concerned with horror stories from day care. WHY? Last time she came writing on one niece that decided that all Nigerian "Feminists" are evil because she saw a church member in a hotel room, even the Anti Feminists here called her out, today again she don reach with this one. See me wasting my energy at 2am to reply and all she wanted meanwhile was the horror stories not practical advice that works for us. |

You can check security gadget shops, not all need electricity, some work with batteries. Just put it somewhere that would capture whats going on. |

You were born to train and take care of your child. Stop looking for someone to enslave in the name of nanny or daycare. Avoid the mistakes you are bound to make by doing so now, than regretting later when it will be late. Women don't be lazy! |

yomickey: My honest opinion is none.You are right. But most people don't have the means o. For someone like me, my MIL is old, FIL is late, my parents are still working and not near, all our siblings are either married, working or in school. We don't dig extended family thingy etc. So we have no option than to use a nanny or daycare or in my case, both. Nobody likes to leave their children in the care of strangers but we've got to do what we've got to do jare and just leave the rest to God. 2 Likes |
