[quote=Anonymous]Kids are now 6 and 3, and we have a (nearly) full-time nanny to watch them through the summer, before and after school, and to be with the younger one all day while the older one is at school. Looking ahead, we have the option of being able to send the younger one to pre-K next year and stagger schedules to avoid needing daily childcare. This would be a logistical challenge, though, given that it would involve, 1, rearranging work schedules (not impossible, but will take some negotiations with respective workplaces), and 2, piecing together alternative child care for school breaks/days off and the entire summer. I'm curious to know whether others have done this, and how much money you've saved? We currently spend around $30k a year on having our nanny and I keep thinking how much more money we'll have once the kids are both in school full time, but others have told me the cost savings wasn't as huge as they expected. Can anyone provide some actual numbers?[/quote]
