[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello - My wife and I are expecting our first child next year. We live in AU park and both work full time. We're trying to figure out childcare and I'm wondering - how much does hiring a nanny cost? I don't really have any idea...[/quote] First call all the daycares in your neighborhood or near your offices. Take their prices down, that is your ballpark. Then decide how much more you would pay a nanny than that. We started ours at $15/ hour for year 1, one child, 45 hours a week.[/quote] No, a nanny is the most expensive type of childcare, unless you have more than 3 kids. A daycare near me charges $350/week for an infant, $300/week for a toddler, and $250/week for a preschooler - so at $900/week, you are close to nanny wages ($16.36/hour and $24.54/hour OT) for a 50 hour week caring for 3 kids. You cannot, however, expect to find decent nanny care for an infant for $350/week. $6.36/hour gets you nowhere.[/quote]
