I️m back and forth on whether i will return to my job after i give birth in April. I really want to be a stay at home mom, but the salary my husband makes alone would not be enough for us to live the same way we do now. I make more money than he does, and my job is more of a career with a company I️ love, which is why i am struggling in my decision.

I️f i do go back to work, i work a random schedule with my two off days usually falling during the week. My husband works a normal 7-4 mon-fri job. So we would only need daycare 3-4 times a week.

I’ve tried looking up daycares in my area and there’s really not many. I thought about looking into a nanny/caregiver?

How much do you pay for childcare a week? I really want to budget this out and see if I️m better off just staying home 🤷🏼‍♀️
