Childcare Comparison
🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-05

pm-family
Compare childcare options — nursery/daycare, childminder, nanny, family, or a mix — for your family's real needs, budget, and values. Use when asked to compare childcare options, nursery vs nanny, how to choose childcare, or find the right childcare. Produces a needs-and-values profile, a side-by-side of the realistic options on cost/flexibility/socialization/control, the questions to ask and red flags to check on visits, a total-cost read (including subsidies), and a decision that fits your priorities — not a generic ranking.
🗣 Say this to your agent
“Nursery or a nanny — which is right for us?”“Help me compare childcare options for our 1-year-old.”“What should I ask when visiting a daycare?”“How do I choose childcare on a tight budget?”“We need part-time care with backup for sick days — what fits?”
What to give it
▸The need — child's age, hours/days required, start date
▸Budget — what's realistic, and awareness of any subsidies/support
▸Priorities — socialization, flexibility, one-on-one care, cost, specific values
▸Constraints — location, work schedules, backup for sick days, family nearby
▸Options considered — what's available/appealing locally
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Starts from the family's priorities, not a generic ranking
✓Compares realistic options on the dimensions that matter to them
✓Includes total cost with subsidies and hidden extras
✓Provides visit questions and red flags
✓Recommends a fit (often a combination) tied to their priorities
✓Accounts for practical needs (sick backup, hours, continuity)
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**Declaring one option "best"** regardless of the family.
**Comparing headline price** without subsidies/extras.
**No visit guidance** — missing the red flags that matter.
**Ignoring practical realities** like sick-day backup.
**Overlooking a mix** that might fit better than any single option.
