[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP that you are getting some nasty responses here. I am a pp who posted the math for you. The hard thing about finding a nanny is that you can't hire them too early, so you are looking at making a decision without really knowing all the facts.

You "might" be able to find someone who is willing to work for 20 and hour and wants summers off. Someone doing a gap year but wants summer to travel. Someone who just graduated from college and is waiting a year to go to grad school and lives at home.... Someone who is getting married next summer so wants to be free all summer..... But you won't find that person until June-ish for a September start. But I imagine you have to tell your job in March / April. So if you commit to your job and can't find someone, you are in a bigger mess than if you just quit.

More likely to find someone you are comfortable with and how can handle a newborn AND older kids, you will have to pay more. Is it something you would consider stretching for for one year and then using a share or daycare when baby is a little older? It does not seem like it is that much past your break even point and it does give you more help and flexibility but it is a huge expense.  Good luck with whatever you decide.[/quote]
