This says more about you and what you pay a nanny. You probably pay low and that’s why you think nannies can’t afford childcare.

As a nanny, I currently make around $60k (fluctuates higher when you add bonuses and I can make more when I do a nanny share). My husband makes more than me as a Fed. We could absolutely afford childcare if we had a child. However, I would quit working and stay home, not bc we couldn’t afford childcare but bc I love the infant stage. I would want to experience the first year of my child’s life full time. [/quote]
I’m confused.

It sounds like you have a good job as a nanny and you’re paid on the books.  Are you saying you would be okay paying another nanny under the table wages for your own baby so you could afford childcare? That sounds .... weird.

NP. Please, stop derailing this thread! A nanny is not the only form of childcare that exists. At $60K, a nanny could afford many day cares. They might also have family available that can provide childcare for free.[/quote]
