Parents, here is why you can’t compare Nanny rates to Daycare rates:
A nanny comes to your home and focuses solely on your child(ren), ensuring they reach important milestones and are raised the way you want them to be.
Unlike a daycare, a nanny also performs additional child-related tasks at home, saving you a lot of time! And unlike a daycare, a nanny will take care of your children when they are sick!
Also, Nannies depend solely on one employer for their paycheck and they must be able to live decently with it. Daycares can afford to charge lower or flat rates because they have a large number of children enrolled.
You are paying for a very personalized form of childcare and the convenience of not having to drop off/pick up your child(ren) every day. Nannies buy so much time for a family!
A nanny and daycare are two completely different forms of childcare and a nanny is just the more expensive of the two!
