How much yall pay for child care and is this a normal offering?

[ATLANTASTAN]

The agency fee for a au pair are like 8-10k before even paying the au pair. I dont see how its worth it unless i had multiple kids. Could you touch on the company u used?

FYI I went with another daycare that opened up. Built from the ground up everything new. Price is $250 a week for the first 6 months then $300 afterwards. We have to supply everything but it worked out because we are only feeding our son organic Kendamil formula and use those luxury diapers Milli Moon. So the other daycare that included all that doesnt use our brands and honestly that $80 a week we save with this daycare pays for two cans of formula.

We went with Go Au Pair. Yes, there’s a fee to the agency, and the total annual cost can reach around 20k, but when you break it down monthly and see the support you get, it doesn’t feel too expensive as you watch your child grow. We’re planning for the long term at least 2 years with our au pair since we don’t like constantly swapping people in and out.

The other day my wife’s friend told her on separate occasions that a child fell out of their high chair and an employee spit in an autistic kids face at the daycare she works at.

Either time they never told the parents.

Im paying 1500 a month to send my 2 year old to Montessori school.

Got another kid coming in Janurary, and I’m really trying to figure out how we are going to manage almost 3k a month in childcare.

shyt crazy when you think that it’s people whose kids go to the same school and they are paying 500 a month per child or less because the state is floating them.

Your au pair only costs you 20k a year? That’s crazy low. I currently pay $1400 a month for daycare for 1 kid. I thought au pairs would be more than that. How much does the price go up for multiple kids?

I was blessed my parents did watch my baby but most people parents are still working or out of state. Where i live unless you use one of those at home daycares, babies are easily 2k a month.

Ima be a new dad for the first time. She's due in 2 months. Finally picked out our daycare.
It's $330 a week where I'm at (South Carolina). This seems to be significantly cheaper from what I recall friends talk about in New Jersey when I lived up there. What is more shocking to me is the diapers (Cuties brand), wipes and Similac Advance 360 (whatever the fukk that is) is included in the price.

First off is this normal for them to include that in the price cause the other daycares we checked out we had to supply everything?
This Daycare is highly rated, super clean, local with a app available which is convenient. Videos and pix uploaded to app daily. I'm calculating that the $330 a week is a damn good deal seeing as I don't have to spend as much for diapers and formula...Anything that i might be missing or should take in cosiderstion?

I was paying $425 a week in NYC back in 2014. My brother in law is paying almost double that now, also in NYC. It's ridiculous.

 

[The_Sheff]

We were around 325 a week when my youngest left. That didn’t include diapers and formula though, you had to send that in yourself.

We had two in there at once. That shyt was dumb expensive. And people wonder why only really poor or really rich people are having a lot of kids. Middle class folks can barely afford this shyt.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

That’s cheap. We getting out pockets run for $2500/month and that’s for a home daycare could probably find one a little further out for ~$2k/month but this one was highly recommended and my kid seems happy there

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Put it like this…in those days I had people quoting me like 3400 a month

Everyone doesn’t have parents who are capable, or available for childcare.

But I had a white friend who had his mom and mother in law on his company’s payroll as childcare for his two kids. One of them would come over, and take over childcare in the morning while he went to work, and the wife (ex wife now) slept in until it was time for her to wake up, and go to work. One of the mothers would be there until one of them got off work. They also did house work, and cooked dinner. I think that was a good deal.

Congrats! I pay just under $1000 and I supply his diapers, lunch and everything-they do offer breakfast and snack so if he wants it he eats that too. My baby loves his teachers and they love him, I’m not switching plus the other centers are about twice that. He’s learning sign language and does a lot of activities, they post pics and updates all day

under 1000? wtf...what are theses you nikkas have?

because everyone doesn't live by their parents and everyone doesn't have parents who can be full time child care (younger grandparents are still working, older grandparents aren't mobile enough to keep up with a toddler, plus many grandparents aint trying to be doing that 8 hours/day 5 days/week...maybe 1-2, but they trying to enjoy retirement)
