So that is around 1500-1700/month per kid (and that was on the lower end). :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2259061 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 12:04:15 +0000 QueensBee 2259061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we lived in Astoria we paid $1500 for 3 days/week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2259045 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 11:07:13 +0000 Anagram 2259045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnolia: I live in Hoboken and centers here (that I've heard of) are currently $2000-2400 full time. When my daughter attended full time here it was $1900 at the center we went to, but I've heard prices have gone up.</p> <p>Nannies are usually $15-18 for 1 kiddo and more for 2. I have a few friends who do nanny shares and each pay $1600/month, so that ends up being a good deal, if you can find a family to make a good nanny share. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258985 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 08:26:32 +0000 magnolia 2258985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: that sounds way more reasonable. Is it an in home situation? I haven't looked into those but maybe more affordable? </p> <p>Thanks everyone for responding so far.... this is stressful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258983 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 08:13:13 +0000 Trailmix 2258983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pay about $22/hour for our nanny to watch our twins. They will start a nursery program this fall that is $645/month per child for 2 days a week for four hours a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258932 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 06:58:57 +0000 Mama Bird 2258932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow these are expensive! We pay $850/month for five full days. I haven't looked at too many day cares before finding ours, but the couple I checked out were in the $1000 - $1200 range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258849 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 21:53:55 +0000 lamariniere 2258849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we lived in Downtown Brooklyn 3 years ago I priced out daycares and everything was between 2000-2300. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258824 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 20:30:18 +0000 SeptMomma12 2258824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in the NJ suburbs (Bergen County) and we pay $1,300/month for my son who's almost 3. When my daughter starts next month in the infant room, it will be $1,500/month for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258790 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 18:59:06 +0000 LindsayInNY 2258790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter will be going to daycare in the Bronx for $1,200 a month. We live in Westchester and it would've been $1,600 here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258783 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 18:35:25 +0000 Tidybee 2258783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in hoboken but i'll weigh in. For 5 full days, we actually paid $1400/month. It was by far the cheapest bc it wasn't the prettiest or the most glamorous, but it was in aschool with lots of supervision, and those ladies loved my daughter as if she were their own. the other daycares we looked at ranged from 1900-2300 a few years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258777 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 17:57:28 +0000 Madison43 2258777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure about daycare, but full time nannies in NYC run $15 - 20/ hour plus perks (paid vacation, sick days, metro card, etc...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-what-do-you-pay-for-child-care#post-2258776 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 17:47:51 +0000 magnolia 2258776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm getting ready to go back to work in about a month and trying to figure out a realistic budget for part time childcare for my 8 month old, 3 days a week. One daycare I am considering is $1500 a month. Seems like a lot. Although this center is very legitimate/high quality.<br /> wondering what other NYC bees pay, either to a nanny/babysitter hourly, or for monthly childcare? I realize this is somewhat of a sensitive question, So no judgements and I appreciate anyone's input! </p>
