Nannies vs Daycare vs Au Pairs: How To Choose The Right Childcare Setup

Choosing childcare isn’t one-size-fits-all — and no one really prepares you for the emotional, financial, and logistical reality of it. In this episode, Annabel and Dale break down the most common caregiving options (live-in and live-out nannies, part-time help, daycare, and au pairs) and what it’s actually like to navigate each one. We talk real costs beyond hourly rates, coverage gaps, PTO, last-minute cancellations, burnout, maternity leave, flexibility, and how different setups impact your work life, mental load, and family rhythm. Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, managing multiple kids, or rethinking your current setup, this episode will help you feel more informed, supported, and confident in choosing what works for your season. Because motherhood is hard enough — you shouldn’t have to figure childcare out alone. 💛 Forget perfect parenting—this is the podcast moms actually want. These episodes feel like a late-night kitchen-table chat with your best friend: real, warm, and a little messy. Each week, Annabel Lawee and Dale Stabler share unfiltered stories and host honest conversations about what motherhood really feels like—identity shifts, career pivots, mental health struggles, mom guilt, and the vulnerable truths that rarely make the highlight reel. We’re not experts, nor will we ever pretend to be—just two mom best friends riding the rollercoaster right alongside you and creating a space where you feel seen, inspired, and never alone.
