Joey Lawrence and wife Chandie believe in spending as much time as possible with daughters Charli, 5, and Liberty, 17 months.“We don’t have nannies – we’re hands-on parents,” the actor said at a Pampers Little Miracle Missions event in NYC.”I don’t believe in nannies running around.”
He continues, “I think if you have kids, then you should raise them. I think that you get the first five years to set a foundation with your child, and if they’re in day care or nanny care for eight or nine hours a day, I mean, some people don’t have that choice, but for us, I would work ten jobs so that one of us can stay home because I think it’s vital. You don’t get those first five years back. You lay the foundation of trust and dependency then, and you build on that for the rest of your life.”
