Babysitter or day care?

I would choose a babysitter, if you have someone good that you trust. I worked in a day care years ago, while there were good people that worked there, there were others that were not. I take care of a 14 month old in my home. I have had him a couple of months and his vocabulary has doubled, he is also eating by himself, which he wasn't doing before. I also take care of a 9 year old, he does his homework as soon as he gets home, and then I have a requirement that he reads for atleast 30 mins daily even on the weekends. So if you can find someone that is willing to provide the care that you expect I would go with a babysitter instead of daycare.
