[quote=Anonymous]OP, sorry but you will never find a nanny for that price. Are you sure that $150/week is all you each can afford? I ask that not in a disrespectful way- but as an MB I have had to cut many costs elsewhere in order to afford a quality nanny. I started out my search with a very tiny budget like yours, telling myself I couldn't afford any more. But in reality, I could afford it, I just didn't want to. The number shocked me. I talked to a friend who put something in perspective for me- this person is going to be taking care of my child, the absolute most important thing in my life. Why would I ever want to skimp on that and try to get the absolute lowest price? So, I looked at my budget again and now childcare is one of my highest expenses, and I'm fine with that. I trust the woman who takes care of my child 100% and I pay her what she's worth. It's eye-opening what you can "make" yourself afford when you put it as your first priority. This isn't meant to sound asshole-ish...you could put your child in a daycare for that price, but it wouldn't be even close to the quality care you'd get from an experienced nanny. [/quote]
