  I am not sure about Nanny prices but daycare can depend on whether you use an in home or a large center daycare. I use an in home daycare with 6-7 kids with 2 adults working their. I pay around $800.00 a month which is on the cheaper side but you can find things cheaper then $2100.00. I live in West Roxbury.

  I've been a nanny for over 8 years. For an infant you'll be looking at $15-25 an hour if you are looking for an experienced person. I personally think nanny is the way to go- there are a lot more pros than cons. If you find the right person you can really form a special relationship with them. I've been with my current family for 6 years and have cared for all 3 of their kids (starting at 8 months with the first and the next 2 from the first day they came home) It should be fairly easy to find a nanny in south boston, check out sittercity.com (my fav) or care.com

  We have a neighbor who asked us if we would consider nanny sharing. I don't know really. Most day care centers we've looked run about 800-1000 a month.

  We've done a nanny share for the last two+ years with another family and it's been fantastic. It worked especially well because we were similarly minded with the other family and both pretty easy-going. We paid the nanny $16.50/hour for three kids.
