I'm not saying everyone makes their decisions based on theology but that it can have influence. In fact many of the local churches here provide daycare/ after school care.

I don't like daycare period. But if I were to have my child going to daycare I would not have a problem with it so long as they were people I could trust.

A lot of people mention the ties between males and sexual predators, but what about all the women who are physically abusing kids in their care? What about the woman in Chicago who threw a toddler to the floor, and he slowly died while at daycare? This is just as common as sexual abuse, so really the odds of something bad happening to your kids is the same no matter what gender the caretaker.

I won't put my kids in a daycare anyway, I don't trust anyone with my kids. But i'm not less or more inclined to trust a man as opposed to a woman, i'm equally paranoid. If I didn't have a problem with daycares in general, then I would probably let a man watch my kid.

I would want to check it out....just like any other Daycare...

I'd say no also. As an owner I wouldn't see a problem having my children there (if we put them in day care) but as a worker I would not send my kids there.

I don;t do daycare either but would use a daddy daycare if I did

I'm a man and I'm really good with kids. It's not the ability to care for children that I question it's a safety concern for me.

Men are less SAFE than women???

[Dr T]

Sexually YES! Perps. are statistically more of a risk vs. females with that...

It's interesting reading some of the responses. In 2000 i did a lot of damage to my back and legs and had to take time off from hard labor. at the same time a friend of mine was running into trouble finding child care and asked if i would mind taking care of his kids. He was LDS and i wasn't, his wife was very active in chruch and they had 5 kids. His wife wasn't thrilled but still i was better than nothing ( i was a 22 year old male at this point).

Over the next lil while i was put to the test, the kids were 1,3,7,8,9. 3 boys 2 girls. the youngest boy was in diapers and the youngest girl still needed to be bathed. There were some awkward moments with me having to bath the 2 girls now and then cause they insisted on bathing together (i'm able to tell embarassing stories to dates) and diaper changes and such.

Long story short, after my services were no longer needed their mother said i was the best they could have ever hoped for, the kids all say they got more from me than their father and the kids hate that they only see me every few months since mom got remarried. they are now 9,11,15,16,17. If mom had gone with her first worries, she admits her kids would have suffered greatly.

how sad that you think you all are sexual deviants waiting to happen. We had better no let our children alone with their fathers also....

I agree to disagree with you on this one.
