The second one. You'll probably want to look for an in home daycare. |

The latter. OP, could you do a nanny share? The three year old will be easier to place than the infant. Are you in DC already or planning a move? |

I know, just trying my chances, you never know.
DC is one of the most expensive cities in the world for infant care, even NYC is less expensive. |

That’s too low even for an in-home daycare. |

Yes I don't know any full time care that is that low. I am at the most affordable in home daycare I know in the close in VA suburbs and even that isn't that low. You will not find quality care at that price OP, it just doesn't exist. I'm sorry. |

| You need to double your budget, at a minimum, for full time care of a 3 month old. |

+1 I generally wouldn't trust any provider that accepts $1k in this area for a kid under 5 y/o. OP outside of moving out *far* into the burbs, you may need to rethink your budget, take a hit on savings, ask for financial help from family or/and consider a parent staying home. |

| In Cleveland Park you’re looking at a minimum of $325 a week for an in-home daycare and it’s much more for a center. |

325 is a steal...and I'm talking about from where I'm at out in Vienna. |
