Not sure if this is the right place to put this but...I am currently thinking about hiring a nanny instead of daycare. Between my husband and I, she would be working 4 days a week at approximately 8-10 hours a day. I know the typical rate for a nanny is $10 an hour. But the problem is ironically, I am a nanny. Making $10 per hour. Meaning the pay I make during my job, I'll have to turn around and give every bit of that to the nanny. It would cancel out exactly. So part of me thinks I would be better off being a stay at home mom, considering I wouldn't be making anything anyways. However, do you think it would be appropriate to pay less than that? How much would you pay a nanny for a 6 week old?
