Moms Talk Q&A: Childcare Choices

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms and dads take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Georgetown Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Georgetown.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Do you know of local moms raising their children in the Tiger Mother's way and is it the best way? Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today:

What choice(s) did you make for childcare with your young child or when your adult child was younger and why? Nanny vs. nanny share vs. daycare vs. stay at home, etc.

Was the decision you made the one you'd always thought you would? For Example: Did you always plan to stay-at-home, but decided to go back to work or vice versa?
