[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$30 per hour is insane. Ask MONA. I don’t know what the going rate is for twins but much less than $30 per hour.[/quote]

What does daycare charge for two infants?  Do they discount if they’re twins?

Honest question.  [/quote]

Some daycare centers provide a 5%-10% or so sibling discount. The bigger problem is finding spaces. It's highly unlikely you will find 2 spaces at the same daycare center. Finding one spot is hard enough. Many people put the child on the waitlist at or near conception. So you're already a few months late. For quality center-based care you are looking at $25k-$30k per child for a place that includes a hot lunch and snacks.[/quote]

That's a gross overestimation.  25k-30k per child per year is [b]2k+ per child.  That's too much[/b].

OP, you're in Arlington.  You should be able to find good home daycares. They are much better for infants than corporate centers, and much more affordable. [/quote]

What? No it's not. Our daycare in Rockville was $2200 a month per infant (up to 2 years old). With two kids (one infant, one 2 year old), we were paying $3,800 per month. This was 3 years ago though. [/quote]

Me again. We now have a nanny, and we paid her a bit over $60,000 total, including taxes, in 2019. [/quote]
