How much do you spend monthly on child care?

Apr 18 7 Comments

It is so freaking expensive now, our max FSA is not enough to cover even one month expense. Tuition plus nanny to take care of my 2 kids cost us over $6k a month. How much do you spend?

Blind tax: 9Y, 450k

    Are you doing full time daycare + a nanny? That's like double the amount of care for many people so that seems like a reasonable amount if in the Bay Area. For reference, we pay 2500 per month for a single child full time daycare with no nanny in SoCal.

  • Thatโ€™s high. 1 kid-$1000 p/m at a local daycare. Slightly fancier one would have been=$1400. (NY suburbs)
    Before state rules changed in CA,NY, MA we had an au pair. (1 year commitment=10k initial fee, 200$ weekly stipend, room+board). Worked out beautifully, flat rate for 1-4 kids, kids learn extra language, plus itโ€™s a live in nanny so you donโ€™t have to worry about them being late or no show since they live with you. If you live outside of NY, CA, MA I think rules are still the same.
