In the busy world with your tight work schedule you may be thinking about how to take care of your child. Well....popular solutions are getting a nanny or take your child to a day care center. There are big differences in those two options. In any person's life childhood is the most critical time as it decides the one's mental and physical abilities as well as the social skills. So your child must have the maximum care he/she could have and it is a parent's responsibility to give and/or arrange the best care for the child either by hiring a nanny or using day care center services.

A nanny can provide your child personal attention as she looks after only your child. But day care centers cannot pay one-to-one attention for every child where your child may not get the best care and a nanny look after your child from your home where your child is more comfortable, more familiar and more secure to be with. On the other hand in the day care centers your child may come in to harm by other children like getting infected from other kids. Another important fact is transportation. If you decide to hire a nanny,your child does not need to travel a lot as far as he/she can get better care from home but if your choice is using day care center services, you have to allocate some of your time to take your child to there as well as your child too may get tired and may not feel well as he/she is traveling. Also, if your child is participating in any activities such as swimming, volleyball practices, football practices or etc day care center service providers may not feel comfort on taking your child to such activities and spend time for your child. So if you hire a capable nanny she can take your child to outdoor activities while day care centers cannot afford to do that. You can also request your nanny to do some extra activities with your child like singing songs, playing guitar, playing small  games which are suitable for children, helping on doing home work, preparing dinner, preparing tea (depends on your child's age) and etc. By do so they can enjoy their time when you are not there. Also you can hire a nanny who is good in helping to your child your child's weakest subject say mathematics, your nanny will be able to give some teaching lessons. Day care centers...No way! Your nanny will be able to help your household work as well.
