[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone. I've got a one month old and am trying to figure out child care before I go back to work in April. We originally were going to do a nanny share, and thus are on only two day care waitlists (CentroNia and Le Petit Academy). After digging into it in earnest right before our son was born and over the last month, we're feeling like doing a nanny share is more trouble that it may be worth (especially having to become an "employer" to pay taxes, insurance, etc etc). So, we're kind of screwed unless we decide to forge ahead with a nanny share.

Are there any agencies that essentially employ the nannies and parents pay the agency? The only one I found was Philia. It seems like most agencies only refer nannies but don't employ them (and charge a lot for those referrals). What we were considering is getting a nanny for a few months through an agency until a daycare spot opens up. I know they're a lot more expensive, but if it's only for a few months then it won't be so bad.

Is this a bad idea? Should we just suck it up and deal? Are we naive about getting into daycare sooner rather than later? Are there any nanny service or agencies that you could recommend? Thanks for your help!
