[quote=Anonymous]We found that daycare was cheaper once our child was 3 years. The daycare rates drop considerably and switching to a daycare that offered a 15% discount to federal employees made more sense. With the discount, the price for a 3 year old was just under $1200 at a major daycare chain near metro stop in suburban Maryland (DC area). This was in 2017 We are now considering an au pair again so that our child can have more time to sleep in the morning before school and so that we have an extra set of hands to help with our youngest in the evenings. Our kids (we have an older child that doesn't require child care) like having an au pair. We will pay a touch under $600 per month for before and after for thr youngest, and fulltime summer camp in our suburban neighborhood is a very low $250/week including before and aftercare. So for us, adding an au pair is an additional $1200 per month. [/quote]
