[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most families in DC or its suburbs don't have nannies. You're spending exponentially more than most on childcare - so maybe you're an exception to the rule that children don't get cheaper. I wouldn't be surprised though if someone who'd spend that much on childcare finds that they have higher than usual expectations (and costs) for schools, camps and activities. [/quote] If you have two kids, a lot of day cares in the DC area and surrounding (Bethesda or Arlington) cost about 2200 or more per months. Even if it's 2000 x 2 it will cost you 4000. 4000 x 12 = 48K a year. Obviously it starts going down as kids get older in day care, but that's what it costs in the early years. In my DC office, there are a few families with nanny shares. That's about 22 or so total so each family pays about 11. 50 hours per week x 11 = 550 x 52 = 28600 for one kid.[/quote]
