[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$700 is workable, but if you are able to swing $800, you'll have a much better pool of candidates (and less potential turnover). I disagree with the people who say that you shouldn't try to cut expenses to be able to afford a nanny. It's all about priorities. If you each spend $10/day on eating lunch out, and you're able to brownbag it instead, that brings you from $700 to $800. [/quote] Completely agree about the priorities. My husband and I are both federal employees. When we had our daughter, our HHI was ~200k. But we paid $800/week plus taxes for our nanny. We didn't go on vacations or eat out, and it definitely was tight. And it was worth every penny to us. She became part of the family and, I think, really played a key role in our daughter's development. That said, some parents are fine paying $500/week for daycare or a nannyshare, and that's also totally fine if it works for them. [/quote]
