Yes I don't think you're going to find anything more affordable for that ratio in DC, that's a great ratio and is just how much care tends to cost in DC

The question isn’t cost, it is care.

Leave her there.


I agree. If you like the providers and they are experienced, you are basically getting a nannyshare ratio for less than a nannyshare in NWDC.

Silver Spring is not DC- costs are WAY higher in DC.

I don't think you'll get much cheaper than $1,900 for a 12 month old in DC- if you're talking NW DC at least.


Especially if the ratio is like 2 or 3 kids per provider. That's basically a nannyshare ratio you're getting.

OP: I should have said, we’re paying $1900/month.
