[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think its fair to try to make it a straight comparison money wise. You'd be comparing apples to oranges. You're saying it would cost you around or a little less than $30k/year for daycare for 2. You'd need to pay bit more for your own nanny, but with that you get: more oversight and control over the care of your children, your children are cared for in their own home, take naps in their own bed, eat their own food, and play with their own toys, you have more flexibility in your desired schedule, you don't have to miss work for every runny nose, and your newborn will stay much healthier. For what you get, I think a nanny is definitely the better deal for 2 children, but I do think it will (and should) cost you more than $30k/year. Your employee shouldn't need public assistance.

Well, if the OP can only afford $30K, then that's all that matters.

That said, $13/hour isn't a lot for two kids, plus you'll have overtime and employment taxes to cover.  So you could hire someone, but probably not a great candidate.  [/quote]
