[quote=Anonymous]The year long waiting lists are mostly in downtown DC and mostly for large centers (which you derisively refer to as "bulk daycare"). For an infant, the "bulk daycare" center my DD went to when she was a baby was about $1800/month - which is about $1900-2000 in today's dollars. We were on that waiting list for about 8 months, such that I'd already begun interviewing nannies when I got the call that a space was available for her the month I needed it. When I was looking for nannies, I put up an ad on SitterCity. Got many really wonderful applicants. $20/hour is certainly really high. I believe that we advertised being willing to pay $12-15/hour for a person to look after one infant with no additional responsibilities like housework or laundry. All the applicants were fine with that.[/quote]
