[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in S. Arlington. I have been reading here and am overwhelmed at the idea of paying $20/hour.. we just don't have that kind of money to be spending $40k/year on child care.[/quote] There is no need to pay $20/hr, you can find wonderful applicants at around $15/hr for one baby. Alternatively, you can look into nanny shares, which should run between $18-$22/hr, split between two families. Another alternative is a small home daycare. Don't want to pile on, but surely you should have thought about childcare options before starting down this road. You can at least research your options and see how you feel about them. Certainly you should know whether you plan to stay home or work. [/quote]
