[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]500k. We just got one for our second child. The all-in cost is about $4500 which blows my mind but I guess we can afford it (and so far it’s awesome).[/quote]

So 54k/year? My daycare for one kid is ~28k, so a nanny might be the best option if we have 2 kids. Does your nanny watch both kids?[/quote]

That’s really high for daycare!![/quote]

Disagree. We pay $4600/month for two in daycare. We considered a nanny when the second was born but decided to stick with our center. Obviously the decision was about more than just the cost. [/quote]

first PP here. Yes, she watches both kids (or, she will, starting in a couple of months). But, the older one is turning 3, is currently in full-day daycare and will be switching to attend a neighborhood pre-school (9-2:30pm) starting in September. The cost to put both in that daycare center roughly equaled the nanny's annual salary. Then there's the addition of pre-school tuition, BUT a subtraction b/c we're getting rid of one of our cars + parking at a downtown office, so it's more or less a wash, cost-wise. And the logistics are so, so much easier for us. [/quote]
