We're looking at starting prices of $1600. One of us staying at home won't be an option, as we live off DH's salary comfortably now, but my salary will go to student loan and savings. I've read about nanny shares. How do they work? Is it cheaper than daycare? Would you/do you use this method of childcare, and if so, how do you like it? </p>
