[quote=Anonymous]Hi all - My spouse and I have two children - our eldest is in before/after care at their ES and our 1-year old is in daycare. I am fortunate enough to be considering a job that will pay more than enough so that we could afford hiring some help. I'm still trying to decide but one of the factors I am considering is the ability to hire some sort of help for my partner, especially when I travel (the partner would still work). I think we would still keep our younger child in daycare but would drop aftercare for my older child (but keep the after school enrichment activities) and then hire someone to help with pickup after school, cook dinner, help keep the house clean, etc. My questions (that I can think of right now) are (1) how much would it cost for someone to just come in the afternoons? I've seen other posts saying between $15-30/hr. (2) do some nannies cook, clean, etc or is that asking too much? (3) maybe we should just hire a FT nanny and drop all child care, but we really like our current care provider situations (we pay $>1700/mo for daycare and >$500/mo for before/aftercare)? Thanks in advance, I just started researching all of this today.[/quote]
