First and foremost, a nanny is generally the most expensive form of childcare. A nanny comes to your home on a regular basis both full time and part-time. A nanny has the time to focus on your family and helps ensure that they are taken care of, are hitting milestones, and that they are being raised on the morals and principles of your family!

​

Ultimately, you need to remember that you get what you pay for when it comes to child care. As you prioritize your nanny requirements and consider all of the associated costs, the price tag may seem a bit high.

​

But remember: you are hiring someone to nurture your children and take care of them in every capacity while you are away. They deserve to be compensated accordingly for this important work. As you work the numbers, make sure to lay out the responsibilities expected, as well as your compensation, benefits, and tax contributions so you are prepared for the financial conversation to come.
