createjoy: thanks for your feedback!
I've decided more or less to let my son remain with the nanny.
he's with her for the last 8 months so I think wont be changing his caregiver as he'll have to adapt to a little new sibling.
my gal will also go to the nanny and nanny will be charging me $1k for both of them.
so more or less the $$ will be same if I put at child care.
but I have negotiated for 5.5 days instead of 5 days.
i think maybe 18 mths a little too young for school setting the full day..
hopefully I can bring him for enrichment classes/ swimming on Sat. and spend 1-1 time with him.
my nanny has other family members in the house, and neighbours who have young children.. so my son also meet other people.
sometimes she will bring him to market or NTUC or Northpoint for jalan jalan..
Twice she brought him to take MRT!
Only down side is nanny spends little time on educational activities.. cos she lets him take 2 hourly naps twice a day!
but will be asking her to cut down to 1 nap a day in december.
the best part is, she will prepare his dinner for me and I just microwave it for him when I reach home.
saves me a lot of time and ensure he gets home cook food
