I have 10 week old twins & I'm a single mom. I am struggling w/the fact of using day care or a nanny. It costs about the same. A nanny is about $50 more/week but it's well worth it if I'm not @ the doctor every other week. I'm leary because of the fact that I had a nanny & her references didn't check out but I wasted 1 week 1/2 on the time & money to try her out. Now, I've returned to work & my girlfriend is keeping them until I find someone else. I like the idea of them being in their own comfort zone @ home. However, I'm also doubting the fact that 1 person can handle 2 of them alone. I feel as though maybe day care would be better because they'll have more than 1 person to tend to them. My only issue w/day care is I've yet to find one that has the web cams so that I can watch my kids throughout the day.
This experience w/this last nanny has really left a bad taste in my mouth! I am very hesitant as you can see...
Any advice or words of wisdom???
