[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go the nanny route, if you can find one. One idea I've always thought about was just starting your own in home daycare. The demand is certainly there. You can hire a few people and have them work in your home, offer a couple of slots. I know one person who did that and now 10 years later, his kids are in middle school and he's got a a thriving side business and tax shelter. Just a thought. [/quote] PP who suggested an au pair. We have a FT nanny for 40 hours a week (2 kids), and with taxes, etc. it's about $20.50 an hour. Plus, the oldest goes to PT preschool 5x a week, and the youngest goes 1x a week, so the nanny is not watching both kids all the time. It's more than $43K a year with bonuses, etc. I suppose it would cost less for a live-in; however, I don't think it would only be $10-12 for 3 kids under 4. [/quote]
