daycare, sitter, or stay at home?

I don't have children yet, but I watch two in my home Does that count? hehe

My kids both went to a sitter's house. I went through two daycares and I would never take my kids there. I also interviewed several sitter's before deciding where to take my kids. I think it is such an important decision.

i resigned my job to take care my baby.so i am spending the whole day with her.but inorder to have good communication and socialising i want to put her in a pre school atleast for 3 hours in a day.

i stay home with my daughter

I just had my daughter last month right now I am staying home with her but I have to go back to work in Jan. I am going to have to put her in daycare.

i stay home with them...

My kids go to daycare. I used to have my mom watch them but they got to be too much for her. I think she enjoys her piece and quiet and they realy like daycare.

My kids are now in school so I have time when they are there. I used to stay at home with them though as daycare for two kids is just too expensive!

when I used to go to school and work my mother and grandmother would babysit

i think if you are busy a baby sitter would be better, i do not think they would be able to take care of every child in the day care.

don't have children yet.

When my youngest daughter was daycare age she went to a daycare in town. I hated it. So I opened my own business in my home and stayed home with her. My other two girls never went to daycare because I worked nights at the time

I am fortunate enough to stay home with my kids, I have an home based business.

i dont have children but i spend alot of my time working with chldren and i knoe that more parents would love to stay with there children or have someone they know and trust watching them

I always stayed home with my kids whenever I could. When I did go into work, I always had my parents to watch the kids.

I got to stay at home and raise my kids, then worked a little and really hated it, then am helping to raise a grand daughter. I kind of caught the kaboose of the homemaker train.. I also helped raise two brothers and a sister (for awhile) - and being oldest in our family, once my mom went to work when I was almost 12, I did almost all of the housework.. even laundry and ironing, and the cooking.

My kids used to go to a private in-home daycare. I have now opened my own in-home daycare and I am able to stay home with my 2 kids. Life seems so much easier now!! I can be with my kids when they need me. I can attend my daughters preschool functions without haveing to fight for vacation time. It's great!!

I may be starting a day care home. We have our grandson more often these days. I have been unemployed since September 18th. Being unemployed has been beneficial to me. I was able to get my mental and emotional state of mind back together. My last job really stressed me out. Stress can kill you. Caring for children has always been a job that brings me great joy. If I don't find something that I am interested in come January, this is the avenue I will pursue.

my son stays at home with me. We are considering putting him in for just one day a week soon, coz although i love my little man to bits, i think its important for me to have some me time too.

My 17 mth old daughter is at home with me all the time and my 4 year old son stays home with me and he also attends a playschool for half a day three days a week.
