The highest rated responding daycare for infants and up in Fairfax county is Common Ground Childcare Center. In **2010** their rates were between $1100 - $1400 per child per month. Assuming a rate increase of 2% a year you might be looking at $1550 for your infant and $1350 for your toddler. I'll guess $150/week for aftercare and summer care for your 5 year old as an average cost, or $650/month.

That makes your total daycare cost $3550/month. To stay in that range, you would pay Nanny about $3200/month and pay $350/month in employer expenses.

Many here believe you can find a great Nanny for $15/hour. If your Nanny worked a 10 hour day, taking overtime into account, she would earn $825/week gross. That is $3575/month. Your employer costs would bring you to almost $4000 a month.

And frankly, a great Nanny for 3 kids will likely cost more than $15/hour.

You can get a plenty good enough day care for like $200 a week.[/quote]

The math is not exactly accurate or it is outdated.

When I looked at daycare, most daycares wanted closer to $1800. Most have different prices for infants, which are higher. Maybe these prices are for older kids.[/quote]
