We are expecting our first and interviewing nannies. My wife is starting business school so we are losing second income. Where can one find a full time nanny for 1500/month in Boston?

Have you looked into daycare through the university your wife is attending? University daycares are usually subsidized for those affiliated with them, and they tend to be very high quality.

I echo the above that it will be tough to find a full-time nanny for that rate unless it's 1) under the table and 2) your nanny doesn't have employment authorization (so is willing to take a pay cut to work for you).

We paid $2500 for 3 days of a nanny in San Francisco. We now pay $1700 for 5 days of daycare.

I'm going to guess nowhere. As a data point, I'm paying ~$3000/mo in Chicago before taxes. Nanny takes home about $2300/mo. And this is 3 days/week, not 5. But it amounts to about 33 hrs/week.

Thank you for the responses. I knew it was an unreasonable request but that’s how we get creative ideas in this business right? :-)

You can find that at the Unicorn store along with a job that compensates as well as consulting without the long hours or travel.

Au Pair is your answer. ~$8k up front, then ~$200/week. No more than 9 hours/day or 50 hours per week

We used au pairs when my kids where small. About $20k/yr. Interview them well, we had great experiences with all but one... and that one we requested a change two weeks in, so no issue. It was a great experience for us (like a big sister) but I wouldn't do it for babies... also, pay up for whatever the agencies "au pair plus" option is.

Pretty unrealistic, tbh. Can find daycare for ~$2k. Other option would be nanny share

I’ll jump on the not going to happen wagon. Could maybe find a decent group daycare place for that

Yup, not a chance. An au pair would be closer to that range though so perhaps something worth exploring.

I'm in Boston area. Our nanny is $25/hour and that seems to be the average rate. She goes to another family on Fridays and they pay her $30... Seems people up the rate for reduced hours. But anyway a legit nanny won't be less than $20 and that's paying cash.

FWIW - we like daycare way better. Better socialization, more economical, don’t have to deal with HR issues or play tax games

12/hr in Houston. About 2k a month

You can find daycare for 2-3 days a week in that range..

Does anyone know of any 1 day a week daycares near newton?

In my neighborhood folks will pay Indian nannies 9-12/hr under the table. I think it’s pretty terrible but to each their own

Under the table

I pay 18.5 an hour
