[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies have gotten so expensive. It’s getting to the point that only the 0.1% (and a few foolhardy others) can afford them. Rates will have to go down or there will be a lot of nannies out of work.[/quote]

It's crazy how much it costs. Our first kid was born right before COVID, so we WFH and had family help. He entered daycare FT at age 2.

Recently had a 2nd kid. We have been experiencing A LOT of nanny turnover and drama, all while paying a good rate ($35/hour) and time off. We were going to start daycare early next year due to the waitlist, but got an early offer to start in a couple weeks. We took it. Honestly the stress is a lot less with daycare than dealing with nannies. We both have intense jobs and we were spending our weekends interviewing nannies, dealing with flaky people, etc. Had a great nanny for a couple who gave us only a few days notice after agreeing to work for us for months. Employed another nanny for a few days who clearly lied about her experience - she could not handle the baby AT ALL, struggling mightily, didn't want to do walks outside, etc.

I guess we are just Daycare People. [/quote]
