Affordable Child Care - Closer Than You Think

Any parents living in New York with young children can tell you of the trials and tribulations of raising kids in the helter-skelter environment that is a hallmark of New York. As a parent, I can empathize with the feelings of being overwhelmed and being pulled in a million different directions at once. For a long time, I just lived with these feelings, resigned to the fact that hiring additional help was out of my reach.

However, I've recently been doing more research on the subject, and to my pleasant surprise, I've found that hiring a New York nanny is much easier-- and affordable -- than I had ever imagined that it would be. What I hadn't realized is that the types of childcare services available (and reachable within my budget) were a lot more expansive than I had initially thought. Services range from the very basic, such as babysitting by the hour, to the other extreme, an au pair, for example.

My family's needs fell somewhere in the middle, and we were able to find a New York nanny that met all of our requirements, without sending us through the roof in terms of fees. We found our nanny by doing a thorough search on the internet.

We compile a list of all local providers that offered the services that we were seeking, then we parse though our choices by doing our due diligence on each prospective provider. Though it was a laborious process, we're happy with the result, and having a little extra help--even though it we had never expected to have it-- is a huge burden lifted off our shoulders.
