[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's "piling it on" to ask OP how she can be adopting but claim not be able to afford to quit her job or to hire a nanny. I thought this was going to be a post about securing childcare, not affording it. It's a really basic and essential expense for working parents. Many daycares do not accept babies younger than 18 or 24 months. They can be great, DC went to one when DC turned 2. Remember, these expense will only last for four or so years, until your child enters public pre-K. Then if you work fulltime you will have to pay for aftercare, which runs several hundred a month. FWIW, I paid a sitter $12 / $15 an hour in 1995, in DC, and the families I know, still in DC, are paying $20 an hour for sitters.[/quote]
