Babysitters or day care? Which one in better for your kid?

When baby is young, babysitter is a better option as there is a one-to-one attention, which is important as young baby needs more attention where major development milestones such as crawling and walking are happening in the first year. After 18 months, when the child has a stronger immune system, you can consider to send him/her to childcare. Both options have its own pros and cons. It depends on how comfortable you are. Some parents prefer to put in infant care as they feel hard to find a good nanny. Some people feel that it is not necessary to send child to childcare so early and thus prefer to let nanny take care till older.
