I'm considering moving to Greensboro now. :) </p> <p>We live about 30 minutes from work (on a good day) but it's all highway. The other one is still 15 minutes from work so, either way we have to have her in the car for a while. Dropped her off this morning and realized it takes quite a while to get to her daycare from the highway and v/v. This new one is looking better and better because of that, too. It's a lot of money but we figure we can put off saving for the car for a year and then see how things look when she's a little older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-318752 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:27:52 +0000 littlebug 318752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're just outside of Philadelphia. The prices of the places we looked at ranged from $900-1180 a month. It just so happened that the one that is $900/month was our favorite, but they are also the only one who doesn't take a deposit to hold your spot. So we have to wait until 1 month before baby is due to call and hope that they still have room for him. Otherwise, our 2nd choice is $1040/month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-318737 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:20:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 318737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would pay the $300 more if you can swing it. our daycare is $400 more than most daycares around us, but it's also the closest which has been so important. we walk to school, and it's easy to pick them up when they're sick, easy to drop something off when you forget something. it was also our favorite daycare anyway!</p> <p>we pay $2200/month in brooklyn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-318736 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:20:04 +0000 pelikila 318736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Infant care for 9+ hours per day is $1,550/month and toddler care for 9+ hours per day is $1,480/month. We are using a Bright Horizons daycare as well. The price includes two snacks, milk, and a hot lunch every day once they are on table foods plus Gymboree twice a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-318727 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:17:51 +0000 babynumber1 318727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Good Lord! That is a huge difference. I am in Greensboro and we are half that. I didn't realize RTP was so pricey. Good luck finding something. Do you have a long commute? Our LO is in the daycare close to our house because she cries a lot when the car stops at lights or traffic. You might want to consider how your LO will be during your commute also. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-318659 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 09:48:16 +0000 mediagirl 318659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: I'm in the Triangle. The centers out by my work in Research Triangle Park (in between Raleigh and Durham) are in the $1300-$1800 range. $1000/mo was the lowest we could find. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-318651 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 09:45:21 +0000 babynumber1 318651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Don't you live in Coastal NC? That sounds pricey for the area! I'm in NC in the Piedmont and we pay $620 a month for a center based daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-318538 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 08:56:29 +0000 Mrsbells 318538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: @sunny: @calsmom: @mrs. bird:<br /> Sorry everyone I meant $880 a month! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-316500 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 00:06:32 +0000 SAHM0811 316500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We paid for Bright Horizons infant care in Manhattan 4 years ago @ $2400/month (5 days, 8 hours a day)... I'm sure that particular location had raised its prices since then. When LO was older and went to another preschool in the Upper West Side, we paid around $1800/month (5 days/8 hours a day). She now goes to Pre-K in Los Angeles at $1200/month (5 days/6 hours a day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-316490 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:36:56 +0000 deannab1 316490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the best situation possible. We pay $40 a day for our LO to be in our babysitter's home. She doesn't take on any other kids and only has our LO and her 4 year old at home with her. It's pretty much perfect. I know she raises great kids because I taught her two oldest kids and they are amazing. They live just across the street from us and we love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-316475 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:16:21 +0000 ladyfingers 316475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It varies here, but our budget can support about $600-$800/month. The most expensive one we've found is $995/month with a lot of biannual fees tacked on (we won't be going there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-316381 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 21:43:02 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 316381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: we are in a home based daycare and we LOVE it. </p> <p>our childcare provider charges $20 for a half day (up to 5 hours) and $40 for a full day (up to 10 hours). she feeds them breakfast, lunch and dinner (if the kids are there past 5) and she makes home-cooked, healthy meals. lil' CB loves salad thanks to her! last year, when i worked full time, we were paying just under $800 a month (my husband watched Lil' CB some mornings) and now that i'm half-time, we're paying about $350. we are in the DC area and she is considered very, VERY affordable. we are amazed at the care we get for that price!</p> <p>Lil' CB will start preschool in a week, and we're going to miss her terribly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-316371 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 21:33:30 +0000 sunny 316371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: what city are you in?

The daycare centers we've looked at are anywhere from $1400 to $2000. In December we need to decide if we are going to keep our nanny or put LO in daycare.</p> <p>@filly: Agreed, the range is going to vary based on location. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-pay-for-your-nannydaycarechild-care-provider#post-315595 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:43:47 +0000 filly 315595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think the prices will vary based on where we all live, no? </p> <p>we haven't looked into many daycare's as we're having twins and we think for the first year it will be more $$ effective if we have an in home nanny. the daycare's we looked into were quite high for two infants, and that was with a discount :( </p>
