[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In home daycare is the cheapest option, followed by a daycare center.  A nanny or nanny share will cost way more than either of these options.  So if you're worried about the cost, go with daycare.  People choose nanny/share because they want/need more individual attention and want more flexibility in hours, definitely not because it's cheaper.[/quote]

A nanny share will often work out to about the same as a center.[/quote]

Agree with this somewhat. We did a nanny share and paid her on the books (the other family didn't but it's neither here nor there at this point). By the end we were giving her $18/hour while also paying for a payroll tax service. Once our child turned 2, the tuition at a local daycare center went from about $2400/month to about $1500/month. We easily spending $2000 on our nanny share each month, for significantly fewer hours to boot.

Having done everything except a home daycare, definitely prefer a center for cost and other reasons. [/quote]
