急聘可住家保姆

看来咱这穷人的路还没被堵死。

没想到居然还有好几个西人（有的英国来的，有的爱尔兰来的，还有东欧的）不嫌钱少愿意来我家帮忙，而且还有childcare 的经验 - 不过也很郁闷毕竟background相差太远了。

楼主真是应该送小孩子去childcare了，算上政府给的benefit， 你只要自己每周出200多。也只比你雇个nanny多不了多少。
孩子也是需要她自己的小圈子的。
孩子在最初的时候好象是很可怜，会哭闹，但等她习惯了childcare，她每天会很happy，每天都有小朋友一起玩，而且语言的提高也是非常显著的，这些都是你把她放在家里没法使她得到的。

you r rite.

We have put her in the waiting list of Montessori School near my office and one more near my house, just have to wait.

Anyway, it is very natural to have a "separation anxiety " when the age gap is too small, for my case, her baby sister is just 20 months away from her. So now lots of things on her are going backward such as potty training, sleeping behavior, eating habit and so on ...

If there is someone there to accompany her for a period of time say one or two months, she will feel much better than being thrown into the childcare center.

Many thanks for your input.

小孩子去childcare的过程是很难熬的， 但也是成长中必须经历的，送的越晚，过度时间越长，
我家老大2岁送的，，，事后我认为送晚了，所以老二不到一岁就送了。我觉得我家老二比老大更social，和这个有关系。
对于老大嫉妒的问题，我是让老大参与进来，一起照顾老二，，，似乎效果不错。

我记得生二宝之前, MIDWIFE早早就说过, 如果要送大宝去CC, 一定要在二宝出生之前就开始送, 否则等二宝出来后, 大宝的分离焦虑会更严重, 从心理角度来讲, 这个时候不宜对她进行 sleep/toilet training 的

很赞同你的说法~
2岁已经完全可以送去cc了，不管多大（即使3/4/5岁了），最开始这个过程总是要过的，不管对父母还是孩子来说，都是最艰难的一段时间，熬过去就好了
我打算以后自己有孩子了最晚1岁就送去，越晚越对孩子成长不利（个人看法哈）

为什么不让家里老人过来帮一把呢，不认识的人天天在家里不放心阿

so happy to see some people are discussing nursing, childcare here...

Actually, there is pros and cons to put child in the childcare centre.

I have personally experienced the real situation: when my son went to Kindy class two years ago, I paid extra attentions to the little bubs in the class and found that those from Childcare centre are typically more wild and rough and less disciplined.

I personally think that if there is a chance to keep your children at home and teach/train them by the parents (of course you need enough manpower, enough space at home and enough teaching tools and entertainment tools), that will be much better than sending them to the childcare centres.

Generally speaking, most childcare centres are just to "keep an eye" on the kids without teaching them or discipline them unless you send them to those special centres like Montessori ...

That much depends on the age gap, if the the gap is too small, then it is pretty handful.

Here in Australia, i dont think the earlier you send ur kids to CC the better it will be. It really depends on what childcare centre.

In the mean time of benefiting earlier socializing, you also got the early "implanting" of concepts such as "to be yourself", "I've got the righ to do this and that", "I do what i like" ...

Anyway, those social skills will be picked up easily sooner or later when they grow up.

如果你希望孩子是爱因斯坦或爱迪生，没有问题，，但多大多数孩子，希望接受正产教育，这个风险太高了

I don't agree with this,,, cc follows same rules and standard, there is not much different among them, in terms of capability.
My understanding is, it really depends on your children. To most children, the earlier the better.

I strongly don't agree this.
Social skills are something kids need to develop over their whole life, they are fundamental of people's personality, not language or maths or other skills.

送幼儿园好.不只是学会与人相处的能力.更可以懂得遵守纪律和游戏规则.孩子在家很小就会不断的试探违反父母的约束底线来达到自己的需求.他就是这个世界的中心.而且很难从错误中吸取经验和教训.在幼儿园则相反.
