OP here, I have copied your email into my contacts, so feel free to delete that and this.  I'm glad to know you think this is a possibility.

I have a bunch of things that I would need to sort out to make this happen, so please don't count on this.  I'll be honest and say that with a nanny, I'd probably about break even, and while right now I think "I love my job, it's worth it", I may not feel that way when he or she is in my arms.  I stayed home with the other 3 and enjoyed that, so I'm torn.  [/quote]

Can you work part time?[/quote]

I work part time, about 30 hours.  Working less would make the economics worse, because if it takes 40 hours of childcare for me to cover 30 hours and a commute, it would take me 30 hours to cover 20, for example.  Plus, I work when the kids are in school, at the school that they attend.  So, for example, if I was able to leave at one, I'd be going home, getting the baby and putting him/her in the car to go back through carpool line.  [/quote]

You are basically going to pay a nanny your entire salary.  If you want to continue at your job many women do that so when kids are all in school they have their job.  Others drop out as child care costs vs. income post tax doesn't make it worth working.  Choice is completely yours.[/quote]
