Hello

Kaitlin_MLS

I just wanted to introduce myself.  I have been bouncing around to different boards and decided that I should probably chat with local people instead.  My DH and I got married 3 years ago this coming August and have been together for 7 years.  We just bought a house and we want to TTC in the very near future.  We have been talking about having a baby for a long time now.  There's one problem...we will definitely both need to work.  Does anyone have any idea what is a normal price for child care or for a nanny in the area?  We live about an hour west of Boston.  We are not loaded, obviously, and so money is an issue.  TIA for any information!

Where exactly are you?  I live in Ashland, on the Framingham line, but my son is in a home day care in Sudbury.  I have seen home day care prices from $50- almost $100 per day.  I called one nanny recently and she gets $16 an hour!  I am not so sure about centers though.  Hope this helped a little bit.

We live in Leominster.  DH works in Watertown and I work in Burlington.  I've seen part time in home day care for $175/week which is doable but I was wondering if there were any other options out there.
