[quote=Anonymous]All, we are considering seriously hiring a nanny for our second baby. Our daughter has been at a wonderful daycare but will start preschool in the fall so we want to simplify our lives. Would love your help with some questions - thanks in advance! 
1. What is the going rate for a nanny in the MD region? I’ve seen a big range so was hoping for a realistic figure that we can budget around. We want 7.30-8 am through 6- 6.30pm 5 days a week. While the nanny will primarily watch the baby, we want her to pick up our 2 year old daughter from daycare (~0.6 miles away so walkable) and watch her till the end of the day. How much extra would this be? 
2. I work from home and while I like the idea that I will be around and can sometimes nurse instead of pump, would it be too disruptive? I do have intense work days. 
3.Those who went from daycare to nanny - did it really simplify your lives? Our main goal is the additional help in managing children-related chores and managing the commute so the simplification/ease is key to justify the expense.

Thanks for your thoughts! [/quote]
