[quote=Anonymous]Home based daycares cost less, though not sure how that works in DC as I live in NoVA. Also, remember the cost goes down as the child gets older. $1800, $1400, etc. Consider a babysitter (less expensive than a nanny) if you have flexibility in your job and maybe you can negotiate working hours that would allow you to cut some time out. With my firstborns schedule, I could WFH 6-9AM, go to office from 10-3, and only need 6 hrs of daycare so could look at part time programs. Also depending on disposition of your child if you can WFH with a mother's helper that can sometimes save a bit of money too. A lot of these options are circumstance/child dependent though. [/quote]
