I just called a few daycare places because I know Nanny care can be really expensive in the city... 2 daycare places I spoke with cost $25,000 and up! Should I just plan for all of my monthly savings to go to a Nanny rather than sign my unborn kid up for daycare once my maternity leave is up?
And if anyone has any recommendations about NYC daycare (I'm in midtown), please let me know!
Thanks!
Re: NYC Daycare as expensive as a Nanny?!
great post! i have the same question and have tried to do research for daycare in midtown (i'm on the east side) and have found only a couple of daycare centers in my area, all are full with a year-long waiting list (AT LEAST) and over $25K a year. Currently we have a nanny and it's costing us less. I just wanted to expose my daughter to other children, but maybe scheduling playdates is the way to go!
wanna get together??
wow so much to think about...
I can't believe daycare would be pricier than a nanny.. We have yet to do the research but I've always known we'll go the nanny route.
