[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going back to work in January when my baby will be 4 months old. I will be going back to work part time ( 3 days a week) and then full time at 6 months. MY MIL will be watching him for the first two months, but we will need a nanny or daycare when I go back full time. We like the idea of a nanny but it's expensive. We will have to do everything legally and rates here are $16-20 per hour. The daycare we are looking at is $2k per month and puree/snacks are included in the price. It's also only a mile away from our home. We could put him in daycare 3 days a week - daycare gives option of 2, 3, and 5 days, and my MIL will watch him the other two. MiL will be backup if we use daycare or a nanny. Which one would you choose? [/quote]
Please allow your four month old to be cared for at home. Assuming MIL is stable, competent and loving, keep her for Th and Fri, and start looking for an excellent nanny for M-W. And pay her a decent rate, closer to $25/hr.[/quote]
