My children never needed one at daycare but there were many times they needed them every 3hrs. If it's for asthma that's different than illness. My son has had it for asthma, typically from having pneumonia. If the child doesn't have asthma yet is sick enough to "need" the neb every 3hrs around the clock, from my experience, they'd be sick enough to be home sick. For children with true asthma (which my son has) he has had inhalers for several years, one daily and one as needed. Our old Ped pushed inhalers as early as 3 where our long term Ped said whatever works best and if a child is sick in the office they give a neb right away for immediate treatment.
Are inhalers possible for some of you? I found it much easier with my youngest son as well. He's a fighter and fights me the whole time.
Personally I've had 2 boys need them over the years and we have a special neb form for parents to sign.
