[quote=Anonymous]No comments on any boards on this WTOP series? I think we all know this and are living it! I knew that prices were high for day care (and limited options especially for infants in MD) - so that's why we ended up with a nanny. I feel lucky that we can afford one, I know it is so hard to find quality care. Even for those that can afford a nanny -- getting quality care is still tough. This is one place where you don't want to cut corners (looking at you MBs who pay $12-15/hr).

We should do better in the DC area - such high educated workers, etc. deserve more! Look at places like Raleigh and others where COL is lower and there are many more child care options.
