[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The least expensive options for school aged kids are before/aftercare through the county and an au pair.  Those were our #1 and #2 plans.  Trump has suspended the au pair program and the county is unlikely to offer before/aftercare.

I personally haven't seen an kid activities that are offering camps where I am located.  In fact several of our standby places have gone out of business.  All of our summer camps have been cancelled.  Has anyone seen these options for a 4 and 6 yo in Arlington?  Maybe for older kids...

[b]That leaves a nanny.  They ones I've spoken to want $27-30 per hour and a year commitment.  That's insane COVID-19 pricing and isn't something anyone could have anticipated.[/b]  [/quote]

Clearly everyone who had kids without envisioning the possibility of a global pandemic and having a $1 million income to plan for that was just irresponsible [/quote]

And people said I was crazy when I mentioned it was going to be a killer summer for nannies back in May.

Who's laughing now Sharon?
