[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Sorry - I should have been more clear.  I want a nanny.  No housekeeping - just watching the children. We need the hours of 8:00AM - 5:30PM.  We currently pay about $4k a month for care for two children in a center.  I like that both are together and I only have to worry about the logistics of drop-off and pick-up at one location.  I'm stretched to leave to pick them up in one place as it is.  The thought of driving to a center and an after-care program is a bit daunting.  I was trying to determine if a nanny would be in the $4k a month range.  Anymore than that and I'm not sure I would make the switch.

It would be approximately the same cost to get an educated (college), native english speaking, driving, experienced nanny for your children (at 9.5 hours a day, 5 days a week, at $20/hr would be ~49K per year or ~$4100 a month). This is assuming you want to pay legally, i.e. taxes and such. You might find the same type of nanny but with less experience for $18/hr, and could go a dollar or two lower if you were paying under the table.[/quote]
